.... and Manarola at night

Ringed Plovers

#newbirdpoker is hosted this week by +Kim Sinclair

The themes are:
Saturday/Sunday - Butts/Tails ( there are a few that already participate in a non-theme related to this so it should be easy!)

Monday - Baldies -birds with bald heads and/or necks or eye patches with no feathers
Tue/Wed - Exit, stage right (or left) - those shots where you almost got a great shot but the bird took off and it's mostly there but just not quite so you never shared it before.
Thur - Mating behavior - pairs preening, feeding each other or actually mating
Friday - Such a Clown! - birds doing funny

Updating this collection: this is Manarola

Dunnock trying to have a dustbath on some worn dried out grass during our recent hot spell. Sometimes called Hedge Sparrows because they look superficially like House Sparrows

This is actually at lot less than it looks, each 10TT Dollar is about 1 GBP but it is how my helpful travel money provider sent me the currency I ordered!!!! Imagine paying an expensive restaurant bill with these..............
