Birds

Other than pigeons, I'd say those who live in the heart of the city don't see that many. I don't know of course, but in Dublin city centre that's about all you see birdwise, pigeons and maybe the odd crow. It's nice out here, listening to starlings and sparrows and seagulls. We get the crows, magpies and plenty of pigeons too of course. I do wonder about a new bird I've been seeing a lot of, kind of mostly grey with some black. Thought it was a crow, but they're completely black, aren't they? Crows are pretty damn cool. I love the way they stare at you as if to say "Yeah? You ****ing want some?" before flying off.

Oh yeah: we're getting ducks coming up here now too, two in particular. Really fun feeding them bread, and now they seem to know me. Whereas before they would walk off and I'd have to go after them, throwing bread pieces like some demented Johnny O'Appleseed, now when they see me they come to me for the bread. Love ducks.

Keep an eye out for sparrow hawks and herons. Especially herons if there are guys where you live who have ponds with fish in their gardens.

I think there may be one guy. Herons wouldn't come into Darndale: the local pigeons would kick its ass and send it on its way.
