Percy entertaining a couple of bystanders!

tengolotodo in #hive-106444 • 3 years ago

Hello Hello awesome people of the Hive

This week I got inspired again by the wonderful @nelinoeva and it gave me another reason to test out my still relatively new toy 📸.

I am referring to this post Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 66

Yes, it was time to capture, well capture on screen anyway, some of our feathered friends, and this week the theme is BIRD ON ROCK/STONE!

I knew exactly where I was going to go! Yep my favourite bench in my local park, I was sure that I would see Magpies, Jackdaws, Thrushes, Blackbirds, Starlings and even perhaps a Robin or bluetit!

So I packed up some food for them, grabbed my camera and away I went.

“The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men. Gang aft a-gley
”.
_{Robert Burns from his poem "To a mouse"

Translation for the nonScots speakers}
"The best laid plans of mice and men can still go wrong".

So this blogpost is my entry to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 66!

I laid out the food, sat on my bench and we ate our sandwiches, here was our first visitor!

Yes it was Percy pigeon

He really is a greedy wee thing!

There were actually two Percies and I am sure you could tell by the different rocks!

I had some fun and made his own wee gif!
What do you think?

Meanwhile we did have a couple of onlookers

As hard as I tried to entice this wee one, the blue tit was having none of it, and just watched from a bush over my shoulder!

This is my entry and of Percy for #smap round 66
I hope you enjoyed this and drop me a comment if you like the gif!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone:)

Beautiful friends you've got there Tito Ed! And Percy 1 doesn't look like he is a wee and look at their food! They're happy with you around they know they will be fed generously. And maybe next time, that blue tit will go down a bit closer to you hehe. All the best in the contest!

hehe they are chubby wee things CJ, hehe oo I spoil them with their food!
The little birds are flighty and quick, they jump from brnach to branch and tend to eat when they know we can't see them!
All good fun, some excuse to get out and get some fresh air and practise with the camera!

In the street I don't, in the park I don't mind them eating, but rather the other birds ate.

You finally made a post of the pigeons, haha. I don't like pigeons at all. Although Percy seems nice. But they can become a plague, we had a few years ago an invasion of pigeons on our balcony and it was a nightmare to get rid of them. I could even write a short story about what we lived, haha.
I hope you had a nice Saturday, Super Ed! 🤗

jeje I know you don't like the pigeons, well I thought I would capture some other birds but Percy 1 and Percy 2 stole the show for being on a rock.
I did manage to take some pics of the bluetit and you saw another pic of the on the WE100 post 🤣

Pigeons wherever they are do the possible and the impossible to steal the show. 🤣

I once saw some pigeons in St. Marks Square in Venice that were so well fed, they had to take a running waddle to get airborne 🤣🤣
