In the air last night

A fine sunny Sunday evening and the Curlews were calling overhead

a Heron flew in for supper

Oh well, there goes the theme. Four shorties spending more time perched than flying

and two lovers disappeared up the lane into the sunset.

  1. Parakeet is back to the Horse Chestnut Tree at Prestwick. The very day the buds burst it appeared - how does it do that? Absolutly amazing!! It loves to peck at the new leaves and then discards them onto the ground. No doubt in the next few days we will see it walking along the windowsill looking at it's reflection and doing a display - to a mate(its reflection)I assume.

  2. Thanks for the tip off. It certainly knows its way around. My source in Ponteland advises it has been on her feeders at Bell Villas daily for the last couple of months and presumably the same bird was seen here in Dinnington on Sunday.
