On my lunchtime walk today, as I walked to the waterfront I saw a chap whom I’ve seen before. He puts a lot of food down, and gets absolutely hoards of birds, mostly pigeons and starlings. But that is fine. It’s the trust that the birds display in him that is (apart from the food) most endearing. There was a row of about 10 starlings that were just there, waiting for food.
Whilst the pigeons were just a mass, there was loads of food. It was lovely to see. This is one of the reasons I like walking during the day, as well as first thing in the morning. The Bird Feeder is a classic example of this. It’s just nice to see different things going on.
With the Christmas break coming up, I am hoping to do more daytime walks, of different areas. I may ease off the early morning walks for a while, but they will be back for the start of the new year.
