Hello again!
What a lovely view from Kensington!
So many owlets could survive in the middle of the city? Good news but pity on ours this year
Any news about Biggie?!
Kind regards!
Granny
Hello again!
Believe it or not, we never SEE them - they just call to each other in the dark! [Hence my viewing the webcam here.] But hearing them is better than nothing....mei2k wrote:Happy person you are! Maybe you could take a picture of them?
Hmmm, yes, I do look at 'disturbances' - and sometimes see a buzzard, sparrrowhawk or a kestrel. But the rooks, jackdaws and woodpigeons in these big trees opposite us seem to make a lot of noise most of the day! Not to mention the 30+ sparrows in our little garden who compete with them all day too . Oh, and those big trees are in the grounds of our high school (1300 pupils, though admittedly they are quiet all day, till school ends....). A 'peaceful' English village?? At least the village duckpond is relatively quiet!alice44 wrote:Aren't they cute?
Mew -- if you get a chance go peek when you hear -- jays or rooks or whatever kinds of birds like that, that live near -- making a big ruckus in the day. I have found hawks, raccoons and great horned owls that way. (And occasionally just some jays who have it in for one another.)
I don't mean to be rude, but your message is not relevant to the topic.parkery wrote:How do you repair a wood table chipped edge? I've got a dark wood coffeee table that has about a 1 inch wide edge chipped off of it. It's more than a gouge, but less than a chunk and would require filler/shaping to replicate the shape of the table edge. What is the best material to use and how do I ensure I match the color of the table?
I followed a disturbance today sure I was going to find a raccoon or an owl -- but instead I found a Jay rukus. The Scrub Jays ( http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Western_Scrub-Jay/id ) and the Stellar's Jays ( http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Stellers_Jay/id ) were having it out.Mew wrote: Hmmm, yes, I do look at 'disturbances' - and sometimes see a buzzard, sparrrowhawk or a kestrel.

These are the same jays as in Estonia aren't they? Viewing via cam it is often difficult to see all the colours.Mew wrote:Ah. Alice - these are our 'jays.' http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdgui ... index.aspx Colourful and I forget they are corvids......
