woodpigeon dive

So amazing to see!

A very brave wood-pigeon just let himself fall into the deep waters of the pond.He did it more than once, so that I was able to capture it. It was such a fun sight, because you normally don't see birds drop themselves in deep water. He was very much able to cross over to the other side.
 

Robins nest

 A few days ago the robins have begun building a nest in the nestbox. It was so my desire that they would do so. 

But of course you cannot tell them to do so, They have a mind of their own and the only thing I could do for them is to have a nest box inviting them.

So it was a great surprise they accepted the invitation. Every morning I see them building on the nest. I keep myself at a distance to not disturb the party.

Green woodpecker

 I hear him a lot of times. He is laughing like a horse. so that is easy to recognise.

Seeing him is another story, because he is very very shy.

Last week I was able to spot him, while he climbed an oak tree, hardly visible against the moss. 

Robin

 There are two robins in my garden. Its difficult to say which one is the female or the male. They are lookalikes. One of them is joying the early sunrays.

 Acrobatic squirrel dangling upside down on the peanuts bag.

He is so smart!
