Truly adorable! 🥰 I hope that plaster you're wearing wasn't from an earlier encounter though, as vampire pigeons are known to be out and about this time of year! 😅

🌏 Black-faced Bunting (Emberiza spodocephala)

The Black-faced Bunting is a small bird with a striking grey-black head contrasting with a bright yellow belly in breeding males. It's a migratory bird, native to Asia, breeding across eastern Siberia, northern China, and Japan, and migrating to winter in Southeast Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. These buntings are often seen in small, mixed-species flocks. Their vocalizations are very short, metallic, high-pitched notes. No subspecies are generally recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Fun fact: The bird's common name comes from the bold black markings on its face that can give it a "masked" appearance, particularly in males.

😍 I didn't realise they were so brave! Mine let me get up close, but I don't think they'd thank me for the angle! 😁

We have a young 'un who visits us on the allotment regularly. He likes to eat my finger and follows us around the plot, even coming into the greenhouses or shed if we're there. Getting him onto seed now although he wasn't there yesterday

This wise old wood pigeon (juvenile, in fact, as they haven't yet developed their green and white neck patches) was definitely asking me why I hadn't left them something atop the wall. I must remember next time I pass! 😁 #WoodPigeon #ColumbaPalumbus #birdsoftheworld #birds | #Kent #England

A majestic Marsh Harrier soars against a vivid blue sky, displaying its broad wings with mottled white and dark feathers. The underside is visible, showing a light breast with dark streaks.

50°F this morning as we will have cooler temperatures for the next several days. With my usual morning patio tea time, I have visitors this morning! This one is quite close to me! 🪶
