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!

Another catch up of Colin's visits, two rather extended ones so only the pics for now, am still in the process of sorting out footage to upload, not a job for the heatwave!
He came on 28th July & 3rd Aug
As you can see he was here there & all over & not always being sociable, long spells of him turning his back ... but he still looks wonderful!
Up to date now with this visit to his 'man-cave' in the very strong winds of yesterday ... think he has a rat which he can't eat all of & flies off with it in talons ... love the way he looks like an intrepid hunter posing with one foot on his prey! Lol
I have left this as a feature length vid ... Gore warning!!!!!!!!!
How lovely to see Colin again, in the quarry and sunshine. He was having a good old feed on that poor creature. Had to laugh when he stops now and again and looks down at it, I wonder what his is thinking!!
He is a lovely fellow and we are so privelaged to be able to see such lovely photos and videos, thanks Wendy.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Lot to learn
Lovely clear footage of Colin enjoying his lunch.
And the photos are nice and clear, thought I'd better add that.

When you call it his "nest hole" are you trying to convince yourself or him
