This was one of a posse of small birds who came out to forage on our group of tourists on a levada walk in Madeira - they know all the spots where the walking groups gather to admire views and will offer them crumbs of food: My blog | My photos | My video clips"too literate to be spam"

All the birds are superb but one stands out for me. It is reply #75 from Htmb. that photo is sublime! The Woodpecker is fantastic to say the least but 75 did it for me.

I'm crushed that my flying rats did not make the grade. That birdy in #89 is beautifully captured, with his cocked, curious head and the superb composition and wonderful subtle colors of the whole.

Htmb, your swan photo is a triumph of composition, clarity, and really lush b&w.

That swan looks so pluckable, but I have no information on roasting swans or if they taste good or not.

Try googling "are swans good to eat" and you'll get some very interesting site links.

Swans are quite good to eat, but there is an awful lot of bird for not a lot of meat. Of course they all belong to the Queen, so it is a hanging offence to eat one.

Those ducklings and goslings are so adorable, Cheery.
Nice shot, Mossie! I like the colors of the wall and the angles.

Some pigeons aren't so dumb. This one certainly knows how to stay cool in the Paris heatwave,

I often see pigeons do that in the heat. It looks like they want to become water fowl.
