One of my mates I often go and talk to in the mornings before going into the office (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-hAbE6yYUF6c/UkHvbu60ehI/AAAAAAAAFGQ/KbsgQ3r0mqM/s800/_DSC297220.jpg)
Now is that first try at linking an image going to work?

Blimey, fourth try, but got there in the end...

No matter how often I see a Heron in a tree I always have to stop and look.

Isn't that a hoopoe? I've never seen one in the wild.
-
Yes, with a large insect it had just found. It could be a mole cricket, I think.

Top one looks like some kind of herons but we only have grey herrons in the UK and they are more gangly than that.
-
Night herons and azure-winged magpie.
-
Excellent, thanks Steph!
-
Not in the UK then at the moment Jaded ?

I'm in Chard!

one of the nesting birds in my garden. They've used a blackbird nest as a base to the nest. The blackbirds were tarting it up to use again this year. They are now in the garage guttering :facepalm:

We have a big fat pair of wood chibbins in the garden- you can't get a decent photo of them as they are constantly "at it". They have been ever since they arrived about 3 years ago!
-
That's why they're everywhere ;D
There's possibly 3 more on the way. She was on 3 eggs last time I looked.
They're ugly little blighters when they hatch out!
-
This Blue Tit has a nest about 2ft from the Wood Pigeon.
It's hard to believe, but the Blackbirds that had their nest stolen by the Pigeons are starting to build directly under the old nest!
That's 3 nests within 3ft of each other!!

A few years ago a night heron took up residence for a short time on Two Tree Island, Southend. Unusual species quite often do. I think that was the year that there was a pair of long-eared owls nesting nearby. None of them got any sleep because there was a nightingale in the blackthorn throughout the spring and summer.

If you go to the Marquenterre reserve by the mouth of the Somme, you get (on my best day there) in one view little egret, cattle egret, great white egret, spoonbill, white stork, grey heron and night heron. Plus loooooads of nightingales.
-
You cannot get much more ordinary than this chap, but we enjoy his company in the garden and he seems to appreciate our efforts to turn over bugs and worms for him.

Does a photo of my new, 10 week old Cockatiel count as gratuitous, sitting on the author's shoulder (supposedly an untamed avariary reared bird but actually very tame, and steps onto my finger and climbs up my arm onto my shoulder!!)

I bought him/her yesterday as a replacement for my first cockatiel Flynn, who sadly passed away a couple of months ago . I'm sure Spike will get on well with the new one, despite age difference!
-
What a beautiful little bird Brian!

The look on that bird's face is priceless ;D

Is that chap's name "Cliff", by any chance?

Whose tern is it anyway?
