I find Pigeons difficult to get along with in the domestic environ . They've peppered with their beaks, the Pak Choi specimens that I'm attempting to cultivate, giving little forethought for my own future culinary endeavours......
........consequently I've taken to putting out feed for them in next doors concreate yard and security mesh has been installed over the leafy greens.
A delight as ever, Lev! Cormorants, pigeons and problem solving cockatoos have made my evening.
(Do the cockatoos count as a Thirst Trap?)
As I unfortunately ruined my Trajectory Of Birds tea towel, the offer of postcards with a copy of your book on flight reminded me to order myself a copy, which is my present to myself for weeding the veg beds.
Our family running joke is that I accidentally called pigeons ‘penguins’ twice in the sane week, so our house has regularly visiting penguins to our willow tree.
Excellent as ever. I've just returned from a trip to Perthshire, where we saw many wonderful birds including Bearded Tits (or Reedlings as some suggest we should now call them), Sedge Warblers, Yellowhammers and good numbers of House Martins and Swifts. Memorably also we became the epicentre of the attentions of a flock of Feral Pigeons, even though we had no food to give them....
Brilliant poem. But a cormorant is not a shag, though is it not the case that they are initially confusable? I used to wonder which was which as a boy.

Love the postcard 🥰 and the rest of course, thanks Lev

I have a beautiful brooch in the shape of a cormorant. It was given to me by a lady friend, because, she said, she wasn't going to give me a shag.

(Even though she reportedly likes a cockatoo.)
