And my photos from the weekend: Japanese White -eye (showing perfectly what it catch... and I still don't know what it is:)!), again Red-billed Leiothrix, Red-whiskered Bulbul and female and singing male of the White-rumped Shama... Many birds were looking kind of Skylarkish (did I just invent a new English word:oops:?) because of the winds!

Took an exercise cycle ride into town and saw two old friends for the first time this year. A Peregrine Falcon was hidden its nest and but there was a huge racket, probably from the chick. The falcon appeared for a few seconds. That muck on its face must be the remains of a pigeon its been feeding to the chick. On the way back, there was a Grey Heron by the side of the road.

In the US exercise cycles are stationary and usually sit int he garage covered in bric-a-brac and dust. (this was a joke and hope I didn't offend..)

Dealing with confinement isn't bad at all when you have these little mighty-mights come to visit. I love these little buggers like nobody's business.

The last one cracks me up. I told him he had lint on his head.

Yes. I need to power-wash my fence. It's spring in the pacific Northwest. I need to power-wash everything. Moss would grow on ME if I stood in one place long enough.

Nice shots Bert - I too have a weakness for small birds. Why I wrote "exercise" is that we are permitted under lockdown to cycle for exercise (30 min cycling, 1 hour walking according to Mr Gove).
