Bird Bar

The neighbourhood of Mannheim were this lake can be found is called “Vogelstang”, literally “bird bar” or possibly “bird pole”. This pole however, did not feature any birds when I was passing by.

Greyfeathers

Shades of grey – from almost black to almost white, veering towards blue or violet, and more towards brown or light beige.

The shades are taken from birds’ plumage. Any guesses which one is the hadeda, the heron, the duck and the cockatoo (there are two cockatoos)?

The heron, the hadeda, the duck and the cockatoo. And a cockatoo who said: “Forget this grey stuff, I get me some yellow.” And then he blushed.

The Ragtag prompt today, was a Scottish word, oorie. I had to look it up (and I feel reassured by the fact that some native English speakers had to, as well) and the Collins Dictionary defines it as “gloomy, dismal, or chilled with cold” – the addendum “Scottish” is almost unnecessary, don’t you think.

I immediately thought of this photo, which I took a few years ago.
