Chucky's Nature Notes

Now I have Marches nature notes for you. At the beginning of the month we had a new visitor to the garden. Not 100% sure what he is - so open to suggestions :) Even Doris was interested in him. This was after she had been give instructions from her friend macho crow! Who then found the coconut (they had been playing with it for a while but pparently it now becomes a great idea to take it back to the nest haha. We managed to get a stunning shot of the Magpie too - he does know how pretty he is! Look at those blues and greens shimmer! This is one of the younger crows, taking the fat ball himself for once - and making sure the camera isn't going to stop him first - very defiant haha.  The magpie wanted to check out Doris's tunnel to make sure mummy wasn't hiding any traps (or treats) in there that she needed to know about.  And Mr Wagtail brought his girlfriend into the garden - mummy wants to get a wagtail nesting box for these guys n

So I am still trying to catch up on Februarys pictures. Here we go:  It would appear that the bird bath was very popular among the crows - however it is the feeder that is just above the felt roof that they are actually after (and squabbling over). Even Doris wanted to get up there :D Posing in almost exactly the same location and position :D.  Doris was eating the fat ball that was put out for the Magpie,  So magpie walked around behind her at pecked her bottom to get her to move, And claimed the fat ball (before deciding it wasn't all that interesting and ignoring it haha). And the crows squabbling over some bread (if you look closely you can see me in the background!!). We had the first Blue Tit on camera too!   Well the Crows certainly do like their peanut butter cups! Magpie inspects mummy's patio base.  Is it down the back of here?  See my bottom!  Magpies are gorgeous to look at in flight!
