| Common Grackles |
Two days ago I put up two bird feeders - a self-made one and a open nesting box. It didn't take long before the first guests arrived. The weather was grey and gloomy as I sat behind the living room window with no ideal light to capture the birds.
They were about 15 - 30 feet (5 -10m) away; always on the move and fighting for the seeds.

My patience paid off. Suddenly there was a drove of birds around....

Than I went to the back of the house and captured some more....

ReplyDeleteThank you Paulo and Nené! I had a peek at your blog and I am impressed how many travels you have done all over Europe and how many wonderful things you have seen and taken photos of. Amazing. Thank you for sharing your page.
ReplyDeleteP.S. most impressive: the chapel of bones.
Feeding the birds is such a rewarding hobby. And if you're lucky, you'll attract a few animals too!
