When walking about town, I often encounter something strange from the bird world. Once, I caught sight of a white-faced heron perched upon a residential roof, just a block from the larger supermarket in the CBD.
More recently, I passed under a telegraph wire upon which perched a flock of around a dozen swallows. I have never seen so many in the one place before! Usually, I will spot one, maybe two, four at tops. But, sure enough, more than ten of them sat on the wires above me as I carried my groceries and library books home from the city.
Generally, I do not have my camera on me at such times, or I have heavy packages holding my hands down. If I start to see many more weird bird occurrences, perhaps I shall have to take my camera with me on every shopping trip, though!
Updating regular readers: Smokey still has some cotton tangled about his foot and Brownie has vanished completely…
