Most of you who read this blog know that Doreen and Dennis have been regulars in our life for perhaps a couple of years now. We love seeing them and clearly they love seeing us - or getting something from us, but it is not until now that we are confident that a baby might be joining them. I love this photo of them where she is looking over to him as if to say it's Valentines Day!
Dennis has been very insistent about being fed - he takes a morsel and then makes a funny sound, as if to excuse himself, and flies off with the little morsel in his mouth. To start with I wasn't sure what he was doing, but now I am confident that he is feeding a young one.
You can see how much thinner he is here - wet as well - as it was after a big downpour. Doreen is happy to sit by, be fed and just chill. She has done her bit it seems and it is all down to him now. Doreen, bless her comes and eats -and is sometimes even fed morsels by Dennis. He is persistent in chasing the food to the point that he comes into the house - here are a couple of photos, one with both of them and one where he surprised me perching on my extractor hood.
We think we know where the nest is - and cant wait to meet Junior. What shall we call him or her? May love reign forever, balanced and informed, clear eyed and nurturing. Watch this space !!
And on that note I leave you with my Valentine card to Hubby. There could not have been a more spot on one for this year. Happy Valentines Day!
