[b]Birds[/b] this week, on the ground, in the air, on water, it doesn't matter, just get them in a picture with your bike.
The rules;
1. Take a photo of your bike with something that matches the theme in the background.
2. Interpret the theme any way you like.
3. [b]Pictures should be taken between the dates in the topic title.[/b]
4. If you post a picture you can either suggest a theme for next weeks challenge or vote for someone else's suggestion. First suggestion to get two supporting votes becomes next weeks theme, probably.

I can see this thread getting abused with the interpritation. 8)
Among the birdlife I saw on my ride in this morning were swallows, yellowhammers, long tailed tits, a buzzard and all classes of [url= http://www.crowsrus.co.uk/index.html ]corvids[/url], all of which, unfortunately, I had trouble getting in the same shot as my bike.
However, as luck would have it, all was not lost as this close up of my bike and a sparrowhawk demonstrates.... 😉

St George - What breed is that grey chicken? My wife would like to know.
ta.
Hi,
Asked my wife and she doesn't know, they just said it was a hybrid in the shop at the garden centre. (It was bought as a replacement for one that got foxed :(, and only chosen by the kids for the colour - now we have a black one, a ginger one and a grey one.)
If I'm up at the centre I'll pop in and ask.
Cheers

Best I could manage yesterday - saw loads of pheasants on the moors but they seem to have an aversion to being photographed 🙂

Mind you that feather is on an Ibis so nearly there - click pic for more of a cracking day out on the North York Moors - I shall see if I can do better today 😀

i really like the transient nature of this challenge; hopefully i'll rustle something up this weekend
The grey chicken looks like a bluebell.

No.....it's definitely a chicken 🙂
Mrs LHome thought it may have been a lavender pekin, but after googling we agree with the Bluebell identification 🙂 just need to get out photographing over the long weekend...
