I’m hoping to be out tramping about by Tuesday as recovery from my recent cartwheel in the snow picks up a pace.
Two Peregrine Falcons were perched on a rocky ledge close to a wader roost. The parent mother was teaching the young un how to procure food. Mum can I go now and grab a Curlew for lunch? said the eager male offspring. No! you can Knot replied Mum try one of the many smaller ones nearby.
So off went young Perry but he did Knot catch anything 😞. Don’t fret Son said Mum. I’m not going to Snipe at you nor will your Dad, Jack 😅. Mum then flew off returning 4 minutes later with a Redshank which they shared.
Well it’s getting near dark said the matriarch we’d better return home. I hope you have learned something from today’s (wait for it good people) Little Stint. 😂
Good Godwits one of my two readers exclaimed 🤮
