How nice is to start the day watching the doves. Early bird got the worm, or the seeds from your window sill. 🙂
I have three cats and birds stay away from my balcony for good reason, moreover we fenced the balcony. Before, pigeons happened to enter inside. Jackdaws were visiting our balcony before we fenced it. Hubby put cat biscuits in a pot hanging outside the railing and jackdaws pinched the biscutis.
I live in a concrete block of flats, but luckily we have a lot of birds living around us and usually the noisy seagulls are the first to spot. The regular ones are pigeons, jackdaws, sparrows, crows, magpies. Crossing the street and I am in a local small park where we have abundance of life and right now my favourite is the nightingale. I can stay hours listing to it. 🙂
By the way, I witnessed twice how the doves attack a crow, probably defending their nest.
Yes it was a lovely start to the day :) the coffee was on hold! Haha.
That’s cool, yeah it’s hard to get birds on film with carnivorous pets LOL I’m constantly missing great opportunities because of my big bounding puppy hahah. So I put a camera up and leave it sometimes, works well, I can sift through and select the good bits.
Thats great you hear a nightingale :)
You should check out this App called “Merlin” Bird App, it’s amazing it picks up bird calls through the microphone so you can hear way more than you can see and get to recognise the birds calls faster 👍
What you mean they attacked a crow in my video? :)
You are the second one to suggest Merlin app and I am going to install it now.
The attack happened in our park. At some point it looked like the crow is after the dove. It was soooo fast. Here is a glimpse.
Aw yeah it’s brilliant 👍 go for it. It’s vastly enhanced my bird knowledge and knowledge retention. It’s a good walking:watching aid anywhere in the world :)
All the best 🙏
That’s an amazing shot btw, I almost didn’t even see the dove at first glance! Really good action shot 😍
