The birds they mock me
Discussion
It seems we may have a new Robin claiming his territory in out garden.
Very loud but rather lonely so far.
Tends to sit at the top of the plum tree singing his head off for ages - until I decide to get the camera out. He seems to understand my intent - I just have to prepare, not even appear.
These were taken though the kitchen double glazing so somewhat compromised and very heavily cropped.
Hmm.
For some reason the usual photobucket links don't seem to be working.
Puzzled.

Sussed it.
The preset code for the IMG link was missing the "|" separator.
Strange. I suppose there has been an "enhancement" to the Photobucket web site at some point ....

We don't see many Little Egrets locally and I spent a lot of time before I got this shot. Lovely animals

This one has appeared on my patio, there should be enough ants to keep it here for a while hopefully!

Wow, that is a great shot, really unusual to get that close to one !
True.However some years ago, in the not particularly rural village where my mother had lived, there were a pair around one year that walked around the cul-de-sac on the ground much like the other birds and only slightly more timid than the pigeons, sparrows and other regulars. Behaviour modification I suppose. Why that should be I have no idea.
Well, could not get a good zoom in on one, so got one or two together.
