    They are so beautiful. The lower one resembles one of our British woodpeckers. I have just been in time to catch the humming bird again sitting on her eggs. She was constantly looking from left to right – presumably in case of preditors. I do hope her nest is away from any cats in the neighbourhood. I have not seen the blue bird and her young today but shall look later tonight. By the way the post of Southwark has been filled!

    Ooooh, thrilling to see the Oriole! What a beauty, both bird and photo. I have to admit a little regional bias, I’m near Baltimore, MD. (In all charity, our team is really struggling.
    It’s been sooo long since we’ve had a winning record. We haven’t been able to say ‘how ’bout dem ‘O’s’ in quite a while.)

    Orioles are so colorful! And they build such an interesting nest, too-looks like a big sack!

    pelerin-who got named Bishop of Southwark? Is it ‘someone’ we know?
