New male who I've named Colin gave us a miss over Xmas & New Year's day so was very pleased to see him this afternoon, giving me a reason to start new thread in the hope there's some romance this year!
Grim & grey day here so light was bad for pics @ almost 15.00
Resolution in vid was a great improvement ... he looks almost too pretty to be a boy!! Trademark ending though ... start as you mean to go on!
2013 photos & vids here

My Colin is a handsome chap who often looks quite pretty for a bird of prey ... I find Buzzard features cute too!
The lovely lad came back again today, suspect he'd been there with prey for a while before we spotted him @ 16.48
Lot to learn

Colin was back here yesterday in various locations for quite a long time, had some prey he obviously didn't like ... any idea what it is? & ended up taking cover in a tree for an age, didn't get him flying off as it was dinnertime here!
Came in at 12.13 & was gone before Woodie took over @ 17.20
14.35 on TP rung
15.15 eating prey
15.55 in tree
Next time I checked Colin had flown from tree & Woodie had usurped the 'throne' @ 17.20
Not a great pic of Woodie, was sat beautifully & before I could get a lovely shot the neighbours came home & played swapping cars over in drive ... Woodie didn't like it!!!
GORE WARNING!!
Slo-mo of Colin's mystery prey ... wondering if amphibian??
