I've spotted yet another new bird in my garden for the first time. I was sitting below the plum tree last night and I heard a sweet, faint set of chirrups coming from the tree. At first I wondered if someone had built a nest and I hadn't noticed. But I looked up to see a type of bird I'd never seen before in my yard.I managed to get a decent photo up into the tree. I believe it was a family of silvereyes. Two juveniles were doing the chirping and being fed by either mum or dad. Turns out they love fruit so they must have visited for the figs. The first of the breba crop is ripening - it's the small early crop that I don't bother to net. There are too few figs so I just leave them for the birds.

Oh to be able to grow figs. Good photo of the birds.
HI ALEXA
happy new year,
yes it should be the same falcon but really i am neither a specialist nor an ornithologist. In the clift, in front of our home, may be a mile, there are other two other bird of prey, one is eagle of partridge, the other a brown vulture. And during the night, i don´t tell you...
specially in spring time ...
we are lucky to live in a such rare place in europe.
bye
