the male arrived first spread his wings and dried himself in the wind, later on a female arrived followed soon after by another.

Is this my latest piece of impressionistic artwork - or a little egret just taken off from Crabble Mill pond in fading light and me with only a pocket camera!

These two friendly dickie birds seem to have taken up residence in my garden. Not being of an ornitha-wotsit bent I have no idea what they are.
On the other hand I do recognise a pair of wrens who are happily building a nest behind the green stuff on the wall!

Thanks ladies, I must admit that their tails were bobbing up and down all the time almost as though they were constantly "depositing".
