Psalm 62:8
Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Do wooden ducks lay stone eggs? This duck decoy is nestled next to a shrub in my apartment complex and stones have been placed next to it. Very strange.
Nesting platforms in the 'open' enclosure in the bird park near Bugibba have all been adopted by spoonbills. I couldn't be certain but I think there were eggs in at least one of the nests.These are African spoonbills (pink faces) that are not listed on Maltese bird lists and certainly not as breeders. It will be interesting to see if they manage to colonise using the bird park as a base.

Dawlish, a little town on the Devon coast, is famous for its black swans, introduced from Western Australia about 100 years ago.
Today there is a ceremony for my neighbour, who passed away last Saturday. Only a limited number of relatives will be able to attend, due to Corona measures.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Where to see a heronry..The sight of a grey heron standing in solitary siege on rivers and waterways is one that is as familiar as it is bewitching. Yet for around three months of the year from February these distinctive-looking birds, with their crests, dagger bills and stilt-like legs come together to breed. A heronry is somewhere herons have nested for many generations and on certain Wildlife Trust reserves it’s possible to catch a rare glimpse of up to 40 nests teetering in the tree-tops at any one time
"Northern Flickers usually excavate nest holes in dead or diseased tree trunks or large branches. In northern North America look for nests in trembling aspens, which are susceptible to a heartrot that makes for easy excavation. Unlike many woodpeckers, flickers often reuse cavities that they or another species excavated in a previous year. Nests are generally placed 6-15 feet off the ground, but on rare occasions can be over 100 feet high. Northern Flickers have been known to nest in old burrows of Belted Kingfishers or Bank Swallows"
