  2. Our hares are upset Lea. Not rabbits but European hare (Lepus europaeus), also known as the brown hare. Love you Killdeer but we don't get those in Europe, just our Starling.

  3. Hi Lea , unfortunately the starling has declined in numbers here in the UK , so we don't see as many as we use to. I love your header photo by the way.
    Take care, Gordon.

  7. What a fine collection Lea.... I have never thought of sorting my (gazillions of) bird pictures this way -- (depending on their actions). A great idea. And great pictures illustrating this behavior.
