sandeyeYard Bird Update 7

There were a very polite pair of birds sharing the stone water bath last week. I glanced up from my washing up or cooking, or whatever chore I was engrossed in, to spot a robin on one side and a blue-tit on the other. Both kept to their own side of the bath, both allowed the other to also enjoy the water, and both seemed to show respect towards the other - taking it in turns to dip to drink or shake and wash.
A couple of days ago I was also looking out of the kitchen window at Dad’s place. This time I spotted WP the wood pigeon munching seed in the bird table whilst the two bird baths were filled. The stone bird bath was covered in at least a half dozen sparrows - and a solitary starling was joining them. I found it amusing to see the other plastic dish bird bath containing circa a dozen starlings with a single sparrow. It was as if one of each species had decided to join the other type.
This afternoon, whilst lying down in the bedroom to rest after 7 hours straight working at chores, cooking, etc, I spotted a pair of turtle doves resting peacefully in the tree outside my bedroom window. That made a pleasant sight - and I have not seen the doves around for a couple of weeks.
