Ahhhh so that’s what they are! Always see 2 of these lads on the towpath on my cycle to work. Inseperable.

Also every now and again one of them will go into a mental quacking frenzy for no obvious reason. Also awesome.

Seem to be a few around back in Kent, remember getting stuck behind one with my dog on a walk back in the day, it was just strolling down the pavement and Monty just refused to overtake it, the daft bastard :heart:

Kingfisher by the canal a few weeks ago was the best spot recently. We get blue, coal and great tits on our feeders and the occasional goldfinch and greenfinch. There’s a few jays knocking about locally which I’m a big fan of.

Highlight of the year was a male sparrowhawk perching in the garden back in the summer late one evening. Spotted from the sofa too.

Aww, they’re great. There used to be a couple used to be a couple that hung around the water and little park in canary wharf (now a building site) near the gfs flat and we’d see them most days and they’d come over and say hello. Made us so happy to see them.

There’s a jay at my dad’s house that likes to come and sit on the windowsill and say hi/watch what you’re doing.

Think you’re onto something here. “Lake Birdless” in southern Italy. The entrance to the underworld.

Haven’t seen any birds today thus far.

Norwich is clearly the entrance to the underworld.

I would check the number of sins both of you are guilty of. Have you got a priest/exorcist handy?

#33

Wait? A Catholic priest?

#35

I didn’t think that was allowed?

I suppose this has a fine tradition in terms of Pope’s nephews.

never seen anything like it before. Seen a fair few of em in Hampstead Heath but never a flock like that together. Is it common?
