The young starlings haven't learnt how to grip hold of the suet feeders so this one sat on the top and begged his parent to feed him. I have had to go and buy some more suet balls and pellets as the birds are really eating me out of home but they're worth it. They are so entertaining.
Surprisingly, I have been busy yet again today. I made more granola from the recipe that I got in Kenya. I make enough to last about a month and eat it every morning for breakfast as it is so tasty and I never get tired of it. However, it does take quite a bit of work to make it but it's worth it - full of good nuts, seeds and dried fruit with honey and oil. Ummm it really is lovely and I can't thank Dixon the Chef enough for his recipe. I keep wondering whether I shall be able to go back next February despite being booked to go. I am keeping everything crossed.
Thanks for all your kind comments and Favs. It is always much appreciated.
Thanks for your nice comment Rosie. This is a lovely shot, and its not easy to get these. They are all over the place, and jumping this way and that. Plus they squabble and fight with their siblings.
Luck has a lot to do with it too.
I have been trying to get a nice shot of the Greenfinches as they come down to drink. Only seen them by the water a few times, and normally only there for a few seconds. The other day a nicely coloured male one landed, and started to drink, and I thought it was actually going to have a bath. Exactly the right spot for some lovely shots, he stayed for maybe three /four minutes !!!!
How many shots did I get ? None.
Just as I got him in the camera, and about to press the shutter, three baby sparrows turned up, all arguing and fluttering around, exactly in the line of sight ! They stayed there till the Greenfich flew off !!
