I am keen to learn what creatures are colonising my newly created pond.
What you probably are not aware of is that to do a proper job one needs to keep alert, ever present and have a keen eye.
I knew I couldn’t do the task justice and so I called for help.
The first volunteer impressed me with such thorough efforts.
Admittedly, not the sharpest of images, as I had to take them using my phone, through my lounge window and fighting the reflections from the Sun. The Blue Tit had been very conscientious and had taken numerous dips beneath the surface, thus sporting a bedraggled look. I attempted to admonish it for bathing on the clock but was assured that it was merely checking for larvae.
The birds are absolutely loving the locale and perform their ablutions there regularly.
Wood Pigeons, Blackbirds, Robins, Blue Tits, Great Tits to name just a few. Oh! and not forgetting the Chiffchaff this afternoon.
Blue tits are busy, entertaining little birds. I'm glad the birds are making good use of the pond you so thoughtfully provided for them.
ReplyDeleteYou are very kind. Birds enrich my life, so the least I can do is to help them where I can.
ReplyDeleteGood to see this little fella enjoying the delights of your pond. Thank you for sharing such lovely photos of the young Blue Tit.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Blue Tits are quite amusing with their antics and acrobatics.You are more than welcome.
