It has been a while since I participated in Good Fences hosted by Theresa so here are a few different fences that I have strolled past recently and being used as perching places by a number of our resident breeding birds.
Scanning the fence boundaries of the horse paddocks in Horton Country Park I noticed that one post was taller than all the others and on closer inspection it was being used by one of the resident Little Owls enjoying a brief spell of winter sunshine. The image quality is not brilliant as I had to heavily crop the original as this small Owl was a long way away and very well camouflaged against the the hedgerow!
The next species, a Kestrel at Tices Meadows was far more obvious as it used a tall post to survey its surroundings before flying off to hunt for a meal.
During a visit to Warnham L.N.R. this week a male Bullfinch perched very briefly on a woven hazel fence.
love all your birds, but those woven fences are AWESOME! so very cool! thanks, frank!
ReplyDeleteA great variety of fences and great birds perched on them.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a woven fence like that. Loved that Robin. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is why I need something rather better than a mobile phone camera
ReplyDeleteGreat series of images. Love the cute owl and all the perched birds...Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so beautiful Frank!
ReplyDeleteBut the last one with the little robin is my favourite :))
Have a fine day

The Kestrel looks very majestic on its perch.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of these different fences and beautiful birds. I like the woven fences. We don't see them around our part of the world.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to combine birds and fences. Enjoyed them all. The owl was adorable.
ReplyDeleteLoved the Kestrel and the way the wire was entwined on the fence. Cute Robin and Bullfinch and I love the woven fencing, so unique.
Great idea for a post Frank though the Little Owl definitely wins first prize.
ReplyDeleteNice looking fences along some great looking birds.
ReplyDeleteSuper fences and super cool birds. I have never seen a woven fence before - truly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
Lovely, lovely birds, and the woven fences are gorgeous!
