You remember seeing Snowy drenched to the quill yesterday. Today was much brighter, and he came fishing for breakfast. First a quick shimmy to get the muscles revved up.
Now to see what delicacies may be lurking at the water’s edge.
“Yep, got one!” He turned to show me his prize. “It may be rather smaller than I was hoping for, but as the saying goes ‘every mickle mek a muckle’, so I’ll take it.”
We certainly had more than a ‘mickle’ at the party last night. Everyone brought a platter of food, so we could have fed the five thousand if there had been that many to feed. As it was, we spent the evening happily munching, sipping and chatting, before going home with enough for at least lunch today.
Hope you’re all having a great weekend. I made a very exciting purchase this morning, which I’ll tell you about next week.
If you have six words to share, pop over to Cate’s place.
Fabulous photos . . I love watching Egrets
Thanks, Becky.
small breakfast for Mr Snowy! 🙂 glad you had a wonderful time and food to go! 🙂
Thanks, Lola. Yes, we just finished the last of the fruit for breakfast this morning. 🙂
Does it have to do with your camera, the purchase? I am so very curious. Glad to hear your weekend went well, and ever so glad for your company Sylvia.
I love feather floofing! 😉
Lovely fluffy feathers – beautiful!
Thanks, Mary. That’s my favourite. 🙂
He is quite a character!
Yes he is. Well, they all are. 🙂
Snowy is becoming a blog-star…
Beautiful pics!
Yes he is. 🙂 Thanks, Anna. xx
Wie schön ein weißer Reiher tolle Aufnahme ich wünsche einen schönen Sonntag lieber Gruß Gislinde
Thanks so much, Gislinde. Happy Sunday to you too. 🙂 xx
beautiful bird!
I agree. 🙂
so it is also here: many mickl comments make a muckl post. I have just ruffled my feathers and shimmied my shoulders this early Sunday morning. I did not have such a rich meal as you y-day, or I would certainly still be sleeping. Good morning, Sylvia.
Good morning to you too. No rich meal last night, but this evening’s dinner will be definitely so. 😕
Sylvia, so happy to see the white, fluffy feathers when Snowy stretched to limber up for his morning breakfast of fish. 🙂 I think he deserves a Best Dressed award for his feather finery.
Refrigerator, kitchen appliance? Counter top? How exciting!!
Thanks, dear Robin. He really does deserve an award. All the beautiful birds deserve such, as they always look so amazing. No, you’re wrong with your guess. All these things are on their merry way here, but I’m excited about something else. 😀
questi grandi uccelli sembrano molto felici, forse hanno avuto anche loro da qualche parte un party molto gustoso come quello dell’amica Sylvia!
spero proprio di sì
un grosso bacio
Annalisa
Haha Yes, I hope so too, although I feel really sorry for the poor fishies. 😕 Sunday hugs to you, dear Annalisa. xx
I love the way you get those birds eating every time…must be tricky!
Hahaha I didn’t tell you before, but I actually plant the food for them. 😆
Well done…now we can all see these beautiful birds close up!
😆
Lovely photo. Does not look like the same bird. Certainly looks much happier.
Thanks so much, Pamela. I agree with you. He looks very different. He’s a ‘quick change artist’. 🙂
He is.
What you are going to leave us hanging on the edge of our seats about your purchase?!
Love that your gathering could have fed 5000. Always so happy to find someone who can keep up to me in exaggerating. 🙂
Bwahaha Well, maybe just a little hyperbolic magnification of the facts. 😀 Your question about my purchase reminded me of the Queen song, ‘Another One Bites the Dust’, which is exactly what I’m doing at the moment, as hubby cuts and installs that drywall. 😕
He looks almost as though he’s had a change of feathers. 😉
Doesn’t he just? Wish I could do the same with my hair. 😀
🙂 🙂
Wish I could get my feathers unruffled that quickly!
Oh yes…..me too. 🙂
Love his face!
He’s quite cute. 🙂
It bet it was a very tasty morsel, Sylvia. Glad to hear your night went well. Enjoy the rest of the weekend 😉
I was surprised at how fluffy Snowy was in that first photo compared to the second and third.
I know…..he doesn’t even look like the same bird. 🙂
Sounds like you and Snowy are both enjoying the weekend.
Yes we are, Nancy. Thank you. 🙂
Did you buy a daily fish delivery for Snowy? 😊
Haha No, not even close Gilly, and please don’t put ideas into his head. 🙂
Perhaps that was just the starter, or entree as we call it in Australia. Snowy doesn’t look like he’s on a diet!
Yes, just an hors d’oeuvre, before the main meal. 🙂
Wonderful details here, Sylvia; and mr Snowy quite conservatively dressed for the quill?
Thanks so much, Liz. Yes, black and white is correct for all occasions. 🙂
It’s not always about quantity but quality.. I’m sure snowy was very happy with that tasty morsel.. besides, there’s always the next one.. 🙂
Very true, Adrian. 🙂
Good for Snowy but I hope he went back for more. I’m intrigued, Sylvia. Can’t wait to hear about the purchase!
I’m sure he didn’t stop at one. I’m so excited about my mystery purchase. 🙂
great take Sylvia, one of my favorite past times when im down your way.. well actually both things.. watching these bird and having a grad time with new and old friends:) ohhh i bet your purchase is for the kitchen:)…
Nope, it’s something far more exciting and you can’t cook on it either. In fact if anyone so much as stands a glass on it, they’ll be in big trouble. 😅
Hmmmm, I’m scratching my head 😂👍well I look forward to the news 😉
Lovely photos of Snowy, Sylvia. He likes the camera!
Yes, I’m sure he does. Tom. He definitely turned to show me his catch. 😃
What a lot of amazing pictures
Thanks so much, Marylou. 🙂
Love Snowy! And intrigued by your mystery purchase….new car? computer? Oh, I give up….
No, not either of those. You’ll have to be patient. 😅
🙄
It’s that cutie again! 🙂 No- not you, Ad! Washing machine? Cooker? Ironing board? Oh, the wild excitement! 🙂 🙂 Give me a smack for being cheeky.
None of those, although the microwave arrived on Thursday but there’s nowhere to put it yet as it goes in a drawer and they only arrive next week. 😃
I hope he went back for seconds. Excited to hear about your purchase, Sylvia. 🙂
Beautiful!
Gorgeous pix.
Thanks so much, Viv.
Love that first photo. Isn’t it entertaining to watch them fluff their feathers. Glad she’s not going hungry!
It is amazing Mr Snowy’s feather look so neat after his quick exercise for the day. I was hoping to see a big catch by him too but I am quite certain that with this professional skill he will get more. Nice captures! Please have a great weekend too.
I know. I wish my hair would fall into place like that. 😅
Another gorgeous day in Paradise, Sylvia. I LOVE that first picture. Wonderful. I’m glad you had a fun party and lots of leftover food. Isn’t it fun to sample other people’s cooking?
Thanks, Cathy. Yes it was wonderful. As I don’t have kitchen, I could only take a fresh fruit salad platter, which went down very well. 😃
Fresh fruit is always a hit! Our kitchen is slowly coming together; our laundry room is now operational, and our screened-in porch almost done!
Yay for you! My laundry room is even more important than my kitchen, so it had to be done chop-chop. 😅
I know the feeling. I was getting awfully tired of driving 20 minutes to do laundry at my sister-in-law’s and then waiting around there all day to move the laundry along!
