Your Wildlife Sightings!

Sorry Jeannie I just couldn't help myself

ps take an air rifle with you next time .. pigeon pie is supposedly ok

Try this one as the old ones are the best, topical as well ...

In days of old,
when men were bold,
and paper was not invented,
they dragged their *,
across the grass,
and walked away contented ..

I'll get my coat

 

Aye and don't forget to shut the door on the way oot

 

I was working out and about on a bin lorry today , and I saw the following ; a few Pheasants , a pair of Oyster catchers , a Partridge , a Field Mouse and a group of 4 or 5 Roe Deer feeding in the distance . The weather was dull and damp the whole day .

 

The pheasants are fast movers I was trying to get a picture at the weekend and as soon as they heard or seen me they were offski, managed to get one in the end but they sure move fast on they short legs

 

They tame up pretty quickly. Went to centre parks a few years ago with my wife and daughter. A couple of them came mooching round every morning for some croissant.

 

This is real poetry.

 

Yeah by the time you point the camera they're gone Same with those ruddy wee dunnets

 

yeah I had a neighbour found one in her garden and was feeding it up for the dinner table

 

Did not leave the house until 9.53am!!!!! Had a good few cans last nightUp at 7.30am but delayed by chores much to Ruby Roo’s annoyance.

Anyway not long back from
Fine Spring Walk and at last a saw one of local Green Woodpeckers. It called and flew right past me Plenty of Great Spotted Woodpeckers around of course,busy drumming and calling.
Also a good few Blackcaps are singing in my patch now with plenty of Chiffchaffs. Nuthatches also are very vocal. 2 Jays landed right next to me but as soon as I raised my phone off they went
We used to have the now very scarce to rare Lesser Spotted Woodpecker here back in the day,but now long gone.

 

Any of you Cool Celts got any photos or reports to put on today or even a Post from our Thread Poet

Could do with a pick me up with all this insanity going oni

 

A couple from the window into the garden:

 

PS Just realised this very day this time last year I had just arrived in Kingussie for a week of Wildlife Walking with Ruby Roo And the odd Shandy
How different a year can be.

 

They're lovely T Mr blackbird is a fine looking fellow

 

Brilliant Photo kind sir

 

I found my woodpecker video that I was banging on about the other day.

As long ago as 2016, which surprised me. I choose to believe that it's one of these two that's still visiting.

 

Thank you.

 

Not much to see out of there today
