Very nice set, and yes it has some humour to it.

Ah. It kinda looked to me like the terrain would fall off after the horizon.

This is the best close up i got, might take a better one later.

But I am sure that you are correct, Sedum caeruleum apparently is very typical for Sardinia and Corsica.

.

Beautiful stuff.

Thank you, yes, that should be it!

Haha. Are you also in Sardinia?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That looks sweet. Is it some kind of high plateau?

 

It's all over the place here in Sardinia, makes it all look so nice.

Always got to watch out for drempels, even in France 😆

Oh i remember that feeder, I was the one asking how you made it in the post you linked from my old account, haha.

Love it. There is one couple in my yard but it never made it to my balcony, not that I know of. Only the wood pigeons. You got food there too or just the water?

I am right now sitting in a cafe, watching a collared dove bring sticks to the wistoria roof that covers the outdoor seats of the cafe.

Edit:

There it is 🥰

I am checking in too, learned about the Blackcap's song a month ago with the whobird app. I don't remember the song really but I remember I thought it does not really sound like a robin and also not like a blackbird.

Those apps are so nice to have.

That was between Bitti and Nuoro, quite close to Bitti though. I am now in Orgosolo, eating gelato :)

 

When I was about to break down my tent, six white Sardinian shepherd dogs showed up. Beautiful medium sized dogs. They were barking a bit, kept a bit of distance, eventually figured I was alright, then left. Guess they had work to do.

I left camp and cycled along this dirt track, which seemed to be a real promising panoramic path to go, when I ran into the group again. The sheep were right at the track and the dogs blocked my way. I stood there for a bit, tried what happened if I pushed my bike a bit more towards them, but they did not seem to like that whatsoever. Bummer. Well at least they left me alone through the night, i heard the sheep's bells and dog's barks all around me when i got here yesterday and was a bit worried they'd bark me out of the spot in the night.

.

Anyway, i did not want to test how far they would go and decided to turn around and take a different route along some asphalt road, which was also real nice, nobodz around but some cows, sheep and cork trees.

Are you ashamed of your post history or why did you create a new account for this noble cause?

One of my favorite things about staying at official camp sites is that the birds in the area know that humans leave crumbs.

Lured some collared doves to my tent. I hope they'll have breakfast with me tomorrow.

Now i looked up what the difference between doves and pigeons is again. I thought there was no difference other than something etymological, dove obviously has Germanic roots, pigeon is French. In German and I believe Dutch they are all called doves (taube, Dutch: duif). But then I read an article which claimed this:

All species and breeds of pigeons have 80 chromosomes while all species and breeds of dove have 76 or 78 chromosomes.

But the feral's ancestors are called rock doves? Are they just named wrong, are they not doves?

French also has the colombe word for what I guess the English call doves, and the rock doves are also called colombe des rochers but i think mostly pigeon biset..

 

Leaves look like this:

it's growing in the same flower pot as the other one, about 80cm high.

What is it (lemmynsfw.com)
 

It's like two meters high and growing in the flower pot i use to empty the birds water dish in.

 

Hello bird friends. I have created a pigeon community to not post too much pigeon stuff here, as i don't think it fits all that well, but on some occasions i feel like it'd be fine to post. Like this one i took yesterday of this sweet couple. If you like pigeons, you are very welcome to [email protected] .
