Becky’s Square Photo Challenge #SquareUp
The Bird Weekly Photo Challenge: Birds on a Wire or a Fence
Ragtag Daily Prompt Sunday: Adieu
Yes I have joined with the ranks of those who have doubled up. The first is my Square for Becky and the rest a random number of photos and yes to all who have asked, I will name the birds perhaps in the captions.
The song for the prompts way back to the 60’s, there’s even a harpsichord! How hippy is that?
Welcome Swallows up on the wire admiring the hot orange sky

Here are the rest of the flock











Not only do we say adieu to our daily squares for January, #SquareUp, but also to a Ragtag Prompter Christine who has supplied some challenging prompts. Adieu Christine, see around the posts
A beautiful selection, Brian 🙂 🙂 Don’t remember that Stones number!

Isn’t so unStones like but was very them in the Brian Jones days. I love the rhythm and blues Stones of the 60’s. 🙂

I was bereft of ideas then saw Lisa’s post and then saw some others had done a double up 😀 as well. No time (or space on y site) to do a whole lot more square birds on wires 🙂 always thinking of my Becky x

What a wonderful gallery of birds this week, Brian! The first one with the sun is amazing and certainly woke me up! I would be in awe if I saw all these birds. Like a kid in a candy store! I don’t think there was anything wrong with your camera for the Magpie. I think they curse everyone’s camera. Every single photo I’ve ever taken of a magpie has been blurry and there was nothing wrong with my camera. Photos before it were fine and photos after it were fine. It’s a CURSE!!! 🙂

Thanks Lisa 🙂 there wasn’t anything wrong it was just a lack of checking before trying to take an impossible to get right image

Thanks much for the shout-out. Yes, though I’m done giving prompts I will be around. Maybe not as much for the next little while, as I try to set up a daily system that works for me to get more other writing done.

I’d love to watch some of those attractive birds. Your magpies look civil, unlike ours that are marauders. And the Jacky Winter looks like our kinglet. 🙂

Magpies are OK. They love to swoop on people, will attack much bigger birds but have the most melodious song 🙂
