And......
Peacock! (He's only an occasional visitor, serendipitous that you started the thread today!)
*sigh* Peacock envy
Grouse.
Emu
Emperor Penguin.
Fabulous Bird of Paradise.
Pigeons & Parakeets.
Mr Squirrel will be along soon.
Phoenix.
Haven't seen them yet today but I'll go and say hi to my swans and Miscellaneous Ducks later
Does that top a dodo mating with a cassowary in the shubbery ?Phoenix
Emu
You joke, but I really do have an Emu at the end of my garden.
Custard is his name. His pal Rhubarb is in another paddock.
They are not mine though 🙁
Ive been enjoying watching chaffinches this morning.
FFS...I thought that this was going to be along the lines of 'Friday Kylie'...how disappointing! 😉
Rachel
Usually there would be a Shannon as well but shes on holiday
Have also seen an emu today, A47 towards Norwich, house has one along with llamas, also seen a number of hawks and red kites.
there was a peregrine nest about 50 metres from my window last month but it's gone quiet 🙁
chickens
sparrows
goldfinch
blue tit
siskin
that's it so far.
edit:just refilled the bird feeder before posting - not sure if that counts as cheating.
chavfinch (this is Scotland after all)
great tit
I've not seen them yet today, but I know my lunchtime walk will yield swans with cygnets, a plethora of ducks and at least one heron. Maybe some great tits if I'm lucky.
Out of the camper window this morning
Chaffinch
Blackbird
Loads of ducks and ducklings
Heron
Some French guy with an otter on a long lead. Hes fishing with it.
Its fun to watch as it fetches a fish back for him and goes in for another. The guys with rods dont stand a chance.
Oooh - just got a Nuthatch on the feeder and the Peregrine is back on the church (pigeons, magpies and blackbirds now seem to be keeping a low profile). Definitely beats the normal office views.
Where have all the cheeky Sparrows gone? I blame Brexit.
Edit: "an otter on a lead" 😯
I have a huge cherry tree, the fruit of which has just become ripe enough for birds. This morning it was full of the usual jackdaws, magpies, jays and blackbirds, but also so a few bullfinches and song thrush.
On the feeders:
Goldfinch
Robin
Blue/great/coal tits
Under the feeders:
Woodpigeon
Collared Dove
Pheasant
And had a flyby from a sparrowhawk.
I've not had a visit for a while, but around Jan/Feb I was treated to a Little Egret fishing in the brook.
No need for envy, Perchy. Peacocks are shit. Noisy, aggressive shits. Pheasants with a marketing budget, but still shit.
I still want one. THe estate seems empty without one.
The par terre is bereft of character. I feel lost in the maze. The folly is no longer jolly.
Life is obviously no ha-ha for perchy. pray for him.
I'm furious. I'm going out to thrash the gardener*
*May or may not be a euphemism
Pheasants with a marketing budget
