Ducklings

A birds-eye view of ducklings plus their mother.

Goslings

Suspect there may have been more goslings originally. Let's hope these three keep close to Mum and Dad and stay safe.

Bird Feeders

This riverside terrace house has placed a number of bird feeders in their tree. Hope they get a good selection of feathered visitors this winter.

B is for Black-headed Gulls Beside the River

These Black-headed Gulls are perched on what is left of the bank as the river rises once again.

Rookery Nook

The Rookery was a very busy spot this week with birds constantly flying in and out with nesting material. There was also a lot of noise with the birds calling out to one another. They seemed undisturbed by the five-a-side football tournament taking place practically underneath them!

Starter Homes

In Parlement of Foules Geoffrey Chaucer wrote:

For this was on seynt Volantynys day
Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make .

This rather splendid Sparrow terrace in the churchyard of St Mary Senior Bishophill is ready for the birds to choose their mates on this Saint Valentine's Day and move straight in!
