Hello dear Blogger friends. Thank you for your comments on the Fruit Dove I saw in Spain and shared last week. I also struggled to id it and went over to Phil Slade (Another bird blog) and asked his opinion. He also said he couldn't find any reference to it and also imagined it's an escapee from captivity. Thanks Phil!
However, following here below is a selection of birds seen in my garden and when Skabby and I walk on the farm.
Glossy starling
Cardinal woodpecker - the first of the season
I heard this bird while sitting indoors at my desk. I dashed outside with my camera. Creeping across the road between my cottage and Gavin and Janine's house, I prowled the length of their garden fence, head cocked, trying to locate it. I eventually spotted it. Voila!
I'm linking my post to Saturday Critters with Eileen here
HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU ALL!

ReplyDeleteGreat critter shots, Jo. Glad to be a friend of Skabby and we all know that treats are part of the system, because TREATS matter. :) Have a great weekend and a fantastic month of September.
ReplyDeleteFeathered enchantment, one and all.
ReplyDeleteI like the Glossy Starling Jo. It is a very shiny example for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe woodpecker particularly stands out.
