Ring Necked Parakeet mother
She will be incubating her clutch of eggs, but here she is having a quick look outside. Maybe wondering if her mate is going to arrive back with some food soon 🤔
She's in one of 3 nests i have spotted in my local cemetery, here in Newcastle

Ring-Necked Parakeets in Newcastle, UK
More shots from yesterday's walk around the local cemetery. The Parakeets are busy preparing/ looking for places to lay their eggs.

A pair of Ring-Necked Parakeets
Here, they're clearing dead wood from a tree knothole to create a nesting site. The female will lay her eggs once the hole is deep enough for her to hide.

Today's one of those days when my meds keep me very much indoors, when I'd love to be out playing. So here's a couple of shots from my bedroom window
1. House Sparrow - Giving me the eye because there's no sunflower hearts in my feeder 😂
2. Robin, bringing the colour to the winter morning.

This time, I was at The Staithes in Dunston

Taken earlier today while out enjoying the winter sunshine.
I'm finding the SAD getting bad at the mo, but a brisk 8ml walk through icy rain and into the eventual glorious sunshine helped blow some cobwebs away 🌦☀️🐦😁
