Fur and Feathers


Stavros


We were a bit worried that the appearance of a cat on the premises might frighten all the birds away. However our foster friend Stavros is sufficiently laid back that the birds don't seem to feel pressured at all. As soon as the rain stops there they are pecking amongst the grass and hopping in and out of the foliage on the trees. I have a wonderful view from the kitchen window and keep the binoculars handy to keep an eye on who is about.

The other day I had the pleasure of spotting what I think was a song thrush. It was only visible for a few minutes but it looked just like the song thrushes in England. I was able to get a photo of another new visitor who was very round and plump with a black cap, white collar and pink chest. I can recognise robins, sparrows, tits, finches, wagtails, wrens, red starts as well as blackbirds, magpies and crows but I don't know the name of this bird.
