Lola, I   Mallards also, they are so Pretty. The only way I ever get to see them is if I find a pond or lake....other wise, I see more here.

You can  dig one!!!!
Yes Lola, mallards are pretty

Very nice Aafke....you have lots of visitors in your garden all Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Some bad visitors too!!  Maybe the ducks will give you some babies soon. 

O yes, they will take over my whole garden!!!! 
I think it will be possible (and nice) that they will have babies. It's a nice couple.  For a few days I heard and saw them in the water behind my garden.  The female has a lot of white so easy to recognize.

Hi Lola
It was a live webcam with sound, you could see the falcons moving and you could hear them eat, not that it was a nice sound but it was very interesting.
This year it's back but not live with sounds but with pictures, they will refresh every  10 seconds (it was in Carla's post) and no sound. But it's still a nice webcam.

[Bigfoot!]

Bigfoot! and Wings for Aafke!!!

I love them!!! Sooo cute

Today I found a dead Long-tailed Tit.  I have no idea what happened with him.
Long-tailed Tits are such beautiful birds, they are very small with a very long tail. From a distance they look a bit pink.
Normally I see them in groups but I have a pair around my garden and I see them eating from the suetballs.
I felt  very sorry to see this dead bird. And it will be very bad when it is one of my pair.
greetings Aafke

Today I had some new visitors in my garden.
A pair of mallards.
The female was eating and the male was protecting the female by looking around and making a terrible noise when it was necessary. He also lay down for a moment.
greetings Aafke

Ready for eggs?
The bird was laying down for a long time, it's possible that when there are eggs we cannot see them.
greetings Aafke

The fourth egg is laid.

Today I looked at this Falcon webcam in Brighton, England.
I saw two falcons.

Thanks!
I found the second egg circa 5 meters ( thats 200 inch I think)  from the first egg.
I looked at all trees in the neighborhood if I could  find a nest,  but nothing!
I keep looking for them.
greetings Aafke

I just found another empty egg!!!!
