Just a quick reminder of the Library bird walk at Attenborough next Friday at 10.00am.
Head for the visitor centre, over the level crossing, and gather near the parking meter on the mini roundabout; plan is for 3 hours to 1.00pm, but if you have to get away earlier, that's fine. Or you can stay all day for the same £3 parking fee.
Little birding story for you...
From my study window over the last two weeks, I have been following
the antics of a Feral Pigeon and a Magpie, and the solar panels on the roof of
a neighbour’s house.
Earliest observations were the Pigeon repeatedly harassing
the Magpie to leave the roof, a protective action that was repeated every time
the Magpie returned.
Protecting a nest was the most likely scenario, and just the
other day, this was confirmed by seeing a single Pigeon carrying dry grass or
sticks, landing on the roof, and always disappearing underneath the solar
panels at the same spot.
I don’t know if there would be any warmth, but a nest would
be dry. I’ll keep watching for any
further developments.
Regards
David
