Pickering's Pasture, a shared dinnertime.

Wildlife, nature garden  at Pickering's Pasture,  Mersey View Rd, Widnes WA8 8LP

As the sun was shining and it wasn't blowing a gale I decided to take a chance that the one individual in Warrington with Corona virus wasn't hiding in the Pickerings Pasture Nature Reserve's wildlife garden. Needless to say the reserve was full of dog walkers and mindfulness and the dreaded Corvid -19 seemed a million miles away.

Blue tit inspection...Tenant?

Whilst I was there I was amused by three blue tits squabbling over the nestbox we put up in the tree, a couple with a hopeful interloper I think, nesting should start any day now, well, going on my little blue tit pair at home, who started bringing in moss yesterday. 

Buzzard

These birds were not the only visitors today; As I sat eating my butty, I was happily surprised to see the Pickering's local buzzard land on the security cameras, me thinks dinner was on her mind as well, five minutes later she swooped over my head and landed on a branch by the bird feeders over the road, she waited observantly, then launched, down, landing with an audible thump, after a little stomping and wing flapping she rose from behind the hedge clutching a fine succulent rat, I like it when our feathered friends give us a helping hand, don't you? 😆😋😉
