Meet Pete, the pigeon

Pete is a lovely wood pigeon that visits our garden.

The Garden

The garden is not really a garden but rather a small green patch with a pear tree.

Nevertheless, Pete the pigeon believes that the garden belongs to him.

Sometimes, Pete's cousin from the city and their friend the squirrel play together by the tree.

Pete enjoys posing for the camera while looking over his territory.

Pete likes to cool down in the birdbath every now and then.

Pete likes to watch the other birds feed from the bird feeder. Just like me.

In the morning the bird feeder is in high demand and the birds quarrel over the seats.

When the parakeets decide to eat there is no space for any other birds. Look for their bright red beaks, how many do you see?

Sometimes, not very often, the birds like to take a break from eating and just relax in the tree.

Big birds like Pete started using the bird bath straightaway but smaller birds took a long time and are still a little wary.

You always know when a magpie or magpies come to the garden as they announce themselves with their machine gun staccato.

Sometimes, very rarely, different kinds of animals play with each other. Here, the squirrel siblings are playing tag with Pete's cousin.

It does not happen often that the dunnock finds himself alone in the garden but when he does, he makes sure to make the most of it.

Blue tits flaunt beautiful colours when you get to see them up close. Green, yellow and blue with striking black cap.

Black cat staring at the menu of little birds. Fortunately, little birds are no fools and keep a safe distance.

The city pigeons do not know when to stop and so we had to make sure the little birds could eat undisturbed.

Rupert and Ruthie are a robin couple living in our neighbour's garden. They observe us from the pole.

Goldfinches are more cautious than the tits and usually fly away when a human approaches but sometimes curiosity gets the better of them too.

The sparrows seem to be rather timid compared to the tits and come infrequently and do not stay for long.

Autumn has disposed of our pear tree's leaves but the summer's dream lives on in the flight of the great tit.
