These Oystercatchers were making the most of the lake having been drained. They looked to be finding plenty to eat in the silt and mud at the bottom of the lake. They get to feed here most winters until the lake is refilled for the summer months.
Then I'll grow up big and strong!
Unfortunately 'H' does find them at right horror, but I don't mind them at all ❤
"Same time every day, rain or shine, this guy comes to feed the birds. I can always tell he's on his way down to the poolside because the seagulls are circling above him as he's walking down the path with his bag of food for the birds. I can't see him; just the seagulls going crazy calling out. Then he'll come into view, and breakfast is served."
Yesterday, when I heard the squeaking and chattering as a second "Hummer" arrived at the climber vines; I was sure a mini dog-fight was going to occur. Much to my surprise, the new arrival buzzed from flower to flower collecting nectar, while the one on the perch fluttered its wings and chattered incessantly. I was still expecting a face-off and was thoroughly amazed when the one that had been foraging came over and began feeding the perched "squeaker" . Evidently these antics are the hummingbird's version of the "feed me flutter". The activity continued for several minutes before the adult finally departed, and the youngster, who was obviously quite capable of feeding herself began checking the blossoms .
Summertime never ends, well, at least not in my hard drive :)

When we have the time we sometimes feed Cleo her kibble one by one. We make her move a bit which is something quite unusual for a cat like Cleo wo thinks twice before she lifts a paw, but the main effect of this way of feeding is that it takes her longer to eat and she feels more sated afterwards. It's not always easy to find volunteers for the job, though. Cleo doesn't bite but she tends to use her claws to get the kibble. You can tell by the fingernails that the volunteer in this case was my niece Natalie.
We have a hatch in our local eagle nest, with one of the adults seen here feeding one of its young, its gray barely visible behind the sticks of the nest. I will be checking often now as the eaglets grow and the nest becomes much busier.
