Skywatch

Blue sky sits above this recently ploughed field.















Wood pigeons grace the skies.

SKY PICTURES? VISIT SKYWATCH

















A Blue tit on the tree outside of my window. One of many different species to visit that tree today. More about that in tomorrow’s post. Incl film.


There'll be a more in depth account in the item I post tommorow.

Acornwatch

I mentioned in a recent post that we would reinstate the Acornwatch feature, to mirror Autumnwatch, as we did in the spring with Springwatch. But that would mean we’d have to rely on the songbirds in my neighbourhood getting their act together and showing up (for the first time in about four months). Or at least showing up at the right times, when film is rolling. A lot of filming with disappointing returns.
Without a sighting of these little creatures to my feeder it looked as if Autumnwatch would have to go ahead without me, or so I thought…

(My opinion on this years Autumnwatch best kept to myself!).

Blackbird or Blackduck

Excuse the poor quality, my rechargable batteries are refusing to charge to their full capacity.
The Situation should shortly be rectified as I'm currently shopping for more.
Blogger sucking out the pixels doesn't exactly help the matter.

Feeder News
The above film may be perplexing in terms of species identification.
What’s not confusing, but perfectly clear is the visit of Sparrows at last to my window feeder.
Through the wind and rain she braved, to fly to my feeder, only to be confronted by me, staring into space out of the window, she quickly abandoned the mission, never to return, not today anyway.
She’ll be back in the early hours to nourish her young.
There were signs today that there had been movement among the seed. Unfortunately there is no video evidence of there visit this time.
The Sparrows, in the year, little over a year since I’ve had the feeder have visited on video once, a fleeting visit by the adult male.

Blackbird or Blackduck, you decide.
The above film shows our Resident adult male Blackbird, bathing in a puddle in our courtyard earlier today, I say Blackbird, or should that be Blackduck, you decide!
