Maybe Romeo has something or other that does not work

Nice fresh sea air $O/\$ $O/\$

nan and Lis

Don't want to rain on your parade, nan, but those lambs are doomed.
They'll soon turn into delicious meat chunks, I'm afraid.

Fascinating! What on earth is a "wigeon"?

Post by **nan** » Sat Apr 12, 2014 4:25 pm

maybe some thing we have only in Europe

there is one or two at my little pond... but still can't see one $0*\$

Wigeon.....I have never seen one either, but then Föhr is special for bird migration

Wigeon is cool, well done, Mel

Romeo is probably too lazy to do anything

The wigeon is a lifer for me. $\O$

But my song thrush is actually a meadow pipit. Thanks to Dewi for correcting my mistake.

Two very poor quality shots, but I didn't even have to go out for those. They came flying into a tree nearby.
Alas, not nearby enough.

This is a female linnet, I think:

And what I hope to be a citril finch - would be a lifer, too:

Well, this is not Romeo but someone occupying the second nest on the roof of the same building:

Still wait for Romeo to return.

The yellow birdie fits in very well to the yellow lichen

Xanthoria parietina

The other stork is a good looking bird
