This a tiny grey wagtail. They are really hard to capture, and they fly really fast like hummingbirds and don't stay still for more than a few seconds ... but I managed to capture this one after a little patience above the river and just under the bridge

just for clarity this bird was flitting under the old bridge over the waterfall...in the pub garden

Feed me.


I SAID feed me.



Maybe someone else can recognize what bird this is. I know it’s a young one, but I don’t know which ethnicity. I know it stared through the window for several seconds, as if expecting to be fed

@hollydolly thankyou !

There are quite a few of them here because husband put up two houses for them many years ago. The houses are both on transformer poles. I was afraid the Bluebirds would go away when the transformer poles got taken down and replaced three years ago. The contractors kindly put the houses back up and thankfully the Bluebirds came back.

Thank you

Went to my brothers today over close to the gulf. There was 2 sandhill cranes dancing in the yard. I don't know if it was courting, or fighting over turf, but, I was able to get pretty close to them. When they spotted me, one of them gave me the stink eye.

@squatting dog oh my goodness! I was once chased by a goose — this fella looks just as painful.

In the park in Spain all the peacocks, chickens, roosters, hens.. rabbits.. all run free , and are almost tame....they're not caged in or chained up, they just don't try and leave ...

LOL that reminds me of the goose we had way back in Vermont. He's chase cars and if you weren't careful, he'd take a shot at you and raise a welt. At least these birds didn't seem dangerous... but... I still didn't turn my back to them. They carried on for well over a minute. so, I took a video of them and grabbed a screenshot.

HD, We've got some at the Weeki Wachee mermaid park that run free. They will walk right up to you. Saw this mom with her little one in tow. So cute.
