A gathering of Bishops

in the Olive trees behind our fence. As we are not allowed to pick them due to lockdown, I think the birds are having a feast.

Lovely shot!

[Babs]

They are having a feast. The possums love our olives.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow I love how they are all at the tips - and that one at the far left flying - super shot!

[Margo]

Didn't think birds ate Olives off the tree, they are bitter! Good shot

[Anne]

Wow, that’s amazing, love the one in flight on the left

[Santina]

BRAVA, fantastic shot

[vonski]

Good for the birds not so great for you. How come you are not allowed to pick fruit? Are you not allowed out of the house at all?
Stay safe whatever the rules

[Dione Giorgio]

Lockdown has provided you with at least this wonderful scene and capture. I love the one coming in to land on the tree. Olives are so tasty mixed to salads.

[Casablanca]

Happy birds indeed!

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely collection

[katy]

It almost looks as if the birds are what is growing on the trees!

[Lou Ann]

A great capture! It’s hard to imagine letting the olives go to waste. My goodness.

[Peter Dulis]

lovely capture ...fav

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Happy birdies! I like how they're all perched along the top edge of the foliage. I'm curious too as to why lockdown restricts you from harvesting food.

[Wylie]

A whole church full! fab.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

What a terrific capture. So many of them.

[Clare Gadsby]

looks like at least something is profiting from lockdown!

[Merrelyn]

Great shot Diana. The birds are in for quite a feast of olives. What a shame that you can't pick them.

[gloria jones]

Outstanding capture

[Bep]

Gorgeous capture.

[Taffy]

Love this! A bird tree or an olive tree!! At least the birds have an advantage to life today.

[Joanna kate]

Terrific image, the tree is decorated with birds and fruit...

[Pyrrhula]

!4 births in one shot. Wow.

It is very much appreciated :-)

@ilovelenses @louannwarren @lyndemc @merrelyn The Olive grove is classified as open space on the estate. It just happens to be at my backyard fence with access to it. I can almost reach out and pick some, but that would be unfair towards the others. We are not allowed to leave our properties during lockdown. Who knows how much longer that will be ;-)

[SandraD]

@ludwigsdiana it is a treasure you share this through your images. Stay safe, keep clicking.

[Rob Z]

Wonderful image - wonderful collection of poses - wonderful clarity.

[Valerie Chesney]

Wow...Wonderful capture//

[Monique]

Beautiful shot, we saw a lot of unusual birds at the Beach as well and wondered why...our Beach is close to the city and maybe they are hungry because people don’t eat in the streets anymore ...?
