Every spring we get a few pairs of ducks that meet up in our pool, and then move off. We know spring is over when the females are all paired up, and we just have a few loser males hanging around.

Around here this time of year it's the black birds coming back for the summer. Their conversations go something like this: Whose vehicle shall we poop on today? Well, it's sort of traditional to nail old Scarecrow's pickup. Yeah, but let's wait for him to wash it first, we'll do his neighbor's car today. ID: 989421 ·

I've got ducks and swans on the canal but looking for nesting sites. Blackbirds, blue tits, magpie's and house sparrows all over the place. And nieghbours cat's that think they can catch the birds, after they have used the freshly dug patches as a toilet. Cats are rapidly falling down my favourite animals list. ID: 989534 ·
