Mespila for Breakfast

The birds are having a great time eating mespila for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I finally was able to snap a quick photo this morning, although not a great one, as he was very skittish. All of the fruit on the orchard side of the tree are gone; only those near the house are left. As the temperature rises and food sources wane, they will get braver, and I will be able to snap photos from my kitchen window...I hope!
It is lovely. Especially those slightly fluffed up feathers in the neck and the rather wistful look.

I learnt that in Cyprus they call this mespila but may be more commonly known as a loquat! Lucky birds to be gorging on these!

@helenhall Thank you! I love being able to see those details that one wouldn't be able to see normally.

@skstein Thank you so much!

@maggiemae Thank you very much! I didn't know that. I had never seen this fruit until I moved here, so learned it as mespila. Now I will know what the rest of the world calls it!

@joysabin Thank you very much!
