Pecked in

I was unimpressed to find these little apples had been knocked off the tree and pecked by pesky Weka. But they are a fitting subject for the new mundane challenge... apple

"Shoot" the weka, Love see a weka pecking apples.

[kali]

@yaorenliu maybe i should if i catch it, lol i dont photograph them much, i have a bad attitude to them!

[Brigette]

@kali66 oh nice!!!

[kali]

@brigette not literally ....

[Brigette]

@kali66 you mean your not?

[kali]

@brigette it was a "if life gives you lemons make lemonade " reference.... just with apples... sheesh hahahaha

[Brigette]

@kali66 oh! i see! clearly i'm too literal today!! hahahaha.. but you should! how hard can it be.... or perhaps just apple pie!

[kali]

@brigette these particular ones are only half grown so nowhere near ripe, the weka would have just got a belly ache !

[Brigette]

@kali66 Hahaha!

Oh to have something as interesting as weka around - all we seem to have are sparrows, blackbirds and mynah birds!

I miss our apple tree. Never produced truly edible apples, but the critters loved them.

[carlinha]

Cool textures. I'd love to see those birdies bobbing for apples!

[kali]

@nickspicsnz careful what you wish for! they upturn pots, peck holes, i cant have a no-dig garden that i would like because they would rummage...and if i leave the door open they come inside and poop , i have never smelled worse poop!

[Chris Cook]

Indeed they are. By the way, what is a weka?

@cdcook48 A New Zealand flightless bird

@kali66 Lol. We do have a relatively frequent visit from a fantail so maybe I'll just be grateful for him.

The birds would do this to the apples in the trees when I had apple trees. I never did get an apple of either of those trees.

[Felix Mantia M.]

Very creative with the soft focus.

I had to google what a Weka was. Too cute!
