My mom has an old chicken coop in her yard that used to hold chickens, but doesn't anymore due to too many coyotes.

We also see herons occasionally as they try to visit our neighbour's pond - after their fish!<br />Lovely to see your BB's photos!<br />Barbara xxFlashinScissorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408946289711452871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-528256042581236412016-02-28T17:35:05.443+00:002016-02-28T17:35:05.443+00:00I don't know much about British birds (birds i...I don't know much about British birds (birds in general, really) but at least I now know the names of four of them, thanks to your post. We once saw a heron on the River Sheaf here in Sheffield. I'm sure it was a heron - it was white, with long legs, but I didn't see the colour of its feet as it flew away.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208986782111545220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-53375110441550331222016-02-28T08:53:02.842+00:002016-02-28T08:53:02.842+00:00You certainly took us on a beautiful walk to see t...You certainly took us on a beautiful walk to see those delightful birds.

There are plenty of house sparrows round my way, we have a lovely family of them that gets bigger and bigger and all nest up in our pergola. At night last year we used to give up counting them all coming in (the morning is very noisy though).

We had Cattle Egrets in California - they look similar - and obviously - hang around cattle fields.<br /><br />With outhouses made of wood in the US - a trick on Halloween was to tip the outhouse over backwards and then wait for someone to walk into the pit - or else tip it when someone was in it. Not a nice trick - but wouldn't have been possible if they were made of bricks. I suppose each place uses the materials available.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-31437312026304526912016-02-27T21:57:55.684+00:002016-02-27T21:57:55.684+00:00It's true that blogland opens the doors on to ...It's true that blogland opens the doors on to different cultures and these British bird pics sum up Blighty really well.
