Only one bird generally sings at this time of year though and that's the robin. Both make and female sing at this time of the year, each defending their own territory. This one posed quite nicely for a photo

Robins and fallen leaves
It was cloudy but fairly warm as we walked along the Innocent Railway near Arthur's Seat today.
The fallen leaves are beautiful
and there are still lots of leaves on many of the trees, the cherry trees looking particularly beautiful
There were lots of birds around today, a kestrel swooped past us, chased by jackdaws and there seemed to be chaffinches everywhere, chasing each other and calling out 'pink, pink'.

and I wrote a haiku about robins in autumn which you can read in yesterday's blog post.

Pretty images, I love your pretty Robin! Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteYour post reminds me that I am due a walk in the woods some time soon. Autumn's here. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
At this time of year, our American robins are heading south for the winter. I have two crabapple trees in back that attract flocks of them. I put out pans of water and they line up to take baths. It seems like the tiny apples may be fermented because the birds get wild and crazy, squabbling and sometimes flying into the windows. I put Halloween clings on the windows to keep them from hurting themselves. The drunken birds are always a lively spectacle!
ReplyDeleteJust my simple echo, Juliet, of your last two posts.
ReplyDeleteleaves whirl
in this seasoned wind
the birds joust
__ Within their view of your photos, Juliet... the seers join your walk. _m
What a lovely walk you were able to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThe colours look so lovely.
All the best Jan
It looks lovely there in autumn and I wish our robins were still here to sing.
ReplyDeletemany fallen leaves all around here too and I've seen a pair of robins.
ReplyDeleteI love the last photo most of all. This would make a lovely card I think. Have a wonderful week Juliet! ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery Fall nice!
