Loverly stuff one and all :o)

Nice to see the HM's doing well. I think the local ones have gone already.
Some very Autumnal warblers from Alan. I've not seen any for a while, except the berry scoffing Blackcaps who are still around in good numbers. Oh and I did hear, but not see, a singing Chiffchaff.
Nice Lapwings in flight, too. Oddly, I took a few myself on Saturday as numbers at Pennington have already built up again after the breeding season.

There's a good chance I've been spotted. Red deer does on Big Moor yesterday.

Thanks Gaynor, they are just lovely to watch and only been going up there to see them for a year, Usually well off but had a couple of close encounters by accident. I don't drive and it's nice to get up there early so sometimes I'll call a taxi to take me out to the outskirts and walk up there. A lovely moment a couple of months ago when the taxi man asked me what I was doing out so early, I mentioned the deer and he didn't believe me I think and then one just walked across the road in front.... he said "wow" quite a lot...

Great to get them all lined like that.

We've not had any Lollipops on here for a while, so I was quite pleased to catch up with a small herd and this one doing a spot of aerobics

And a nice little Willow Tit, also taking up the theme

I think you may be right Bob!

Super shot

Lovely Nige, and the pics :o)

Lovely photos, Everyone, Thanks! I'm smiling at all of them but I do love the LTTs; they are completely adorable.

Superb pics Nigel and Bob, great to see the Lollipops back again, such charismatic little faces on them. The Little Grebe tucking into a fish nearly it's own size made me grin, and what a great capture of a Chiffchaff Bob.
