Walking in the Shadows

Random musings from Warwickshire on life in general... Things that make me laugh, make me cry, things that wind me up beyond all endurance - and everything in between.

Wildlife in the garden

Living in Darkest Warwickshire has its advantages...  Especially when I see things like this in the garden...




Considering the ground feeder is about 6 feet away from the house, the pheasant didn't seem worried that I was sitting in the conservatory taking photos.

But that's not the only visitor to the bird table....  We have had a family of Greater Spotted Woodpeckers coming in.  Not been able to get a photo of the adult female, but I have been able to get photos of the male fledgling....






Ah well, guess I'd better put my phone on charge - poor little thing is bleeping at me again...

Back when I get chance.

Well, it's a brand new morning
And it's the start of your new life
Yeah, it's a brand new morning
You'd better try and get it right
Brand new morning
You've been awake since early light
Brand new morning
So spread your wings and you'll take flight

Not something I would normally post, but this just caught my imagination:

The happy couple are nesting in the tower of the Victorian town hall (at the bottom of the Parade) and it's nice to see that the local council have done something to encourage the wildlife - and not just the flying rats (aka feral pigeons).

The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again.
