Your Wildlife Sightings!

Not the clearest pic but spotted these fellas perched at lunch there

Is it two species or is that young ones?

 

Looks like two * cormorants and maybe two young Marty @cidermaster

 

My daughter sent one of my pictures into our local paper they have a wee picture of the week section forgot all about it then I got an email today thanking me and that it would be in next week's issue been buzzing all day
Just glad that my first mention in the Clydebank post isn't the crime section

 

That's the picture she sent

 

Fantastic Sioux, well done and fair play to your daughter for sending it in, it's a crackin picture alright, you should be really proud

 

Definately 2 Cormorants on the left, it's hard to make out the 2 on the right, when the pictures enlarged it also looks like something swimming just to the left of the perch.

 

The one in the water was the same as the black things on the left, it flew in and just went for a paddle

 

Thanks Johnie I appreciate it Mon the Hoops

 

That's BRILLIANT Susan. You're daughter is obviously proud of your talent. Well done.

 

Thanks john she is at first she called me a creep for rustling about the bushes but the lovely thing is that she's starting to notice the wildlife around her and tells me if she's seen a wee robin etc think I might have a budding Caroline your talented daughter in the making

 

I was in the post office this morning, and the lady behind the counter was telling me how her son wasn't talking to her as she'd seen a Sparrowhawk, (she thinks it was a Sparrowhawk) , catching a Pigeon. She said it was holding the bird down, so she felt sorry for the Pigeon and started to shout , clap her hands and stamp her feet to get rid of the Sparrowhawk. Moments later, it flew away, leaving the Pigeon free to run under a car. Her son was angry incase the Pigeon got run over by the car.
The look on her face was priceless when I said to her that the Sparrowhawk has to eat too, it might have had chicks to feed and that it might have been it's only meal for weeks. She has promised to let nature be, no matter how cruel it can be.

 

Hope so Susan. It's one of the best gifts you can leave your children. A love of nature is a gift that stays with you for life.
And there's nothing wrong with creeping about in bushes Susan. We've all done it,( in the name of birding, of course)

 

It's good one eh well done

 

Indeed john inherited my love of wildlife from my dad and your right creeping about the bushes is fine, not as if we're creeping around car parks * sorry my sense of humour

 

Thanks Jeannie
