Animal Behaviour...

North Beach side...So quiet...Absolute bliss!

Meet Alex (short for Alexandre of course) and no, I am not in the habit of naming the wildlife...

Ex-RAF fly boy does!

Alex prefers his profile of course (you might have noticed his antler...someone mentioned he might have tangled with a fence)

 Alex has a knack for showing up at supper time...

 He is not shy as you can see...

We also observed strange behaviour from this Chickadee family...

Frantic the female is looking at herself (?) or for something (?) in the mirror...

'Eleanor'  seems convinced there is something there...(we actually believed her and opened all doors/hatch)

Finally we tried removing temptation...

You will notice Frank the male just waiting like the rear guard (?)...They have been doing this for the last three days sometimes for hours...

 To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and the flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of years, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be.

(R. Carson)

Just another day on the island...
