In England, I recall blackbirds, thrushes, finches, wrens, - mostly dull-colored twittery birds. In Australia, we have galahs, cockatoos, magpies, lorikeets, parrots, and brightly colored birds with an array of warbles, croaks, and calls. Returning to England and it's birdlife will be akin to eating a plain slice of fruit cake after being used to chocolate sponge with cream n jelly filling and a frosted and sprinkled top!
Yet, they will still be full of feathers, tamable, want to be fed, get used to me and possibly land on my windowsill… What breeds and connections there will be will be a surprise for us all. Whatever I find, I shall endeavor to photograph - and then share here as soon as I am set up with a computer and internet access again.
Maybe I will see robins, jackdaws, chaffinches, blue-tits… I am sure there will be a few seagulls, as we will be living only one-two suburbs inland. My father did mention ONE 'big fat pigeon'…
I will miss my pigeons, almost as much as I will miss my son!
