What kind of bird is this? Around a dozen congregate around our bird feeders, dive to the ground and bath in the bowl of water below, and even fight over how gets to have a bath or a feed sometimes!

Into Town

From above, the young couple walking past presents a dynamic and intriguing scene. The woman, with her striking red hair, stands out in her green top and jeans, carrying a shopping bag, walking briskly. Her companion, a man in a denim jacket and jeans, walks beside her, his face obscured from view. The view from above allows the observer to appreciate the couple’s body language, the determined stride of the woman, and the way the man walks besides her.

Despite the obscured face of the man, the image still conveys a sense of movement and energy. The contrast of the woman’s red hair against the green top creates a striking visual, drawing the eye to her as the dominant figure in the frame. The shopping bag she carries adds a sense of purpose and urgency to her movements, suggesting that the couple may be in a hurry or have a destination in mind. The man’s denim jacket and jeans create a harmonious colour scheme, blending in with the urban surroundings. This image captures a fleeting moment of everyday life, leaving the observer to wonder about the story behind the couple’s brisk pace and purposeful stride.
