Six Word Saturday: Penny And Perry Collect An Entourage.

Looks like Mrs Penny Pelican has flown in to join her mate Perry, now that he’s sorted out their digs for the winter.

On their way back upstream, they were accompanied by an entourage of birds. The Great Egret led the parade, whilst Mr GBH proudly ‘rode shotgun’. The ducks, paddling for all they were worth, brought up the rear. It was quite a show.

 

The tri-coloured heron just looked on in astonishment.

 

For Debbie’s ‘Six Word Saturday’. Apologies that the photos taken through my bathroom window, aren’t the sharpest.

Hope your weekend is going well.

One Word Sunday: Layered

For Debbie’s ‘One Word Sunday Layered’, I give you the majestic Mr GBH, a bird of many layers.

Wishing you all a wonderful month of December.

Feathers On Friday: Mr. Peli Just Flew In

Mr Peli has just arrived to check out the lodging conditions for the winter season and I’m sure his friends aren’t far behind.

Looks like Grandpa Igasho will have to share his tree for a while. I hope they get along together.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Feathers On Friday: Teal Reflection

A very well-fed blue-winged teal, reflecting on life’s mysteries.

Wishing you all a happy weekend.l

One Liner Wednesday: I will survive.

I’m happy to report that Grandpa Igasho is still alive and well…… and would you just look at the length of that tail!

He’s found his safe place where no Iguana Control person can reach him. Look to the right of the arrow. One would have to not only brave our resident alligator, but also be an agile tree climber to get to him.

Hope your week is going as well as Igasho’s is.

For Linda’s ‘One liner Wednesday’.

One Liner Wednesday: Look What I Found.

Samantha squirrel is looking very pleased with herself and she’s not sharing.

For ‘One Liner Wednesday’.

Ruffled Feathers On Friday

Mr GBH looks as though he Halloween-partied quite hard last night and hasn’t yet got around to smoothing down his tousled feathers. I think the bed-head look quite suits him though.

Wishing you all a great weekend and a November filled with gratitude.

 

One-Liner Wednesday: The Perfect Halloween Outfit

Mr Igasho has so far managed to steer clear of the Iguana Control guy.

Where’s My Breakfast?

This morning, Woody wood stork came striding purposefully through our backyard and from the determined look in his eye, he was most certainly on a breakfast hunt. I pity any poor fish who are unfortunate enough to come into contact with that beak.

With his ugly, dark grey, wrinkly, bald head, it’s unlikely that he would win any beauty contests, but having such a menacing face which only a mother could love, probably accounts for the fact that wood storks are rarely preyed upon, even by alligators.

Wishing you all a very pleasant Sunday.

The Elusive Grandpa Igasho

Recently, I’ve been feeling quite doleful because of the hunting down and killing of iguanas in our neighbourhood, so it was a real relief yesterday to see Grandpa Igasho in our backyard. I first took a photo out of my bathroom window so as not to scare him away.

Then I crept outside, opening the screen door very quietly. He didn’t move and inch, so I guess he must have known that I meant him no harm and was only going to shoot him with my camera.

He really is a beautiful specimen and I’d miss him so much if he were to fall prey to the Iguana Control man who patrols here with his shot gun on a regular basis.

Alas, I don’t speak ‘Iguana’, or I’d tell him to set up camp in my backyard where, because I haven’t contributed to paying for the extermination of him and his mates, he would be untouchable.

Happy Sunday, everyone.
