@marburybirds.bsky.socialThank you!
@marburybirds.bsky.socialHow lovely. We don't get them very often. I have had them once in Marbury.
@marburybirds.bsky.socialThese are lovely! I used to be afraid of beetles until I started moth-ing. Now I just pick them up to relocate them!
@marburybirds.bsky.socialGiven up on the 1st painting for now. Don’t think I’ll ever be happy with it, so started another! Just done first sketch today but more optimistic about this one!! 😁
@marburybirds.bsky.socialThanks 😊
@marburybirds.bsky.socialLittle bit quieter for birds on this morning's walk. It looks like I have missed out on Osprey for this year! Highlights: Ravens, Kestrels, Buzzards, Jays, Cetti's, Meadow Pipits, Grey Wagtail, Skylarks, Pink-footed Geese, Shoveler, Great Crested Grebe & Great Spotted Woodpecker.

@marburybirds.bsky.socialThat’s brilliant. A big plud point for the house!!
@marburybirds.bsky.socialYes sometimes especially with raptors
@marburybirds.bsky.socialNo 😁
@marburybirds.bsky.socialMorning from Chips and Gravy. It’s another beautiful one. Chips came in first and got straight down to some clacking. Look at the beautiful colours of his feathers in the sun. Gravy then came and got straight down to eating egg!!
@marburybirds.bsky.socialYes they are almost exotic looking!
@marburybirds.bsky.socialNo never has a Berwick on the mere had Whoopers in the field very occasionally
@marburybirds.bsky.socialNo unless you enjoy going to the dentist!😅
@marburybirds.bsky.socialI don't think we will ever really know!
@marburybirds.bsky.socialHa! I am no person to comment on names! Lovely to have friends in the garden!
@marburybirds.bsky.socialThanks Raaf😊
@marburybirds.bsky.socialOriginally by behaviour, but they they bred in front of me, so I knew which was male and which was female. Chips the male is larger with a shorter but much broader beak. I am sure I get it wrong sometime though when they come separately.
@marburybirds.bsky.socialIt’s on it way. 😁😅
