Re: What's Your Favourite Bird?

The blackbird, or maybe the blue tit. Can't quite decide. Both are great characters ... I learnt that blackbirds are not all the same, have very distinct individual characters, which when they are resident in your garden you start to notice. And they will build up a relationship with humans, know how to use us . The blue tits also have great character, very cheeky little birds and seem to be very lovey-dovey faithful pairs, unlike the blackbirds that seem to have a 'marriage' of convenience during the breeding season and are very unfaithful and then become 'single' for the rest of the year .

And coming in close on their heels (or should that be wings) is the swift. That screaming as they rush round the eaves, that is summer ....
