How lovely to see Colin visit again. What has he brought this time? It does look as if it could be something amphibian! Has yellow legs, some sort of lizard?

Great selection of videos Wendy. It is very exciting to see Colin so at home on the various perches, preening, eating, posing, I think he approves his new home.
Not sure about the mystery prey, could be a frog maybe? Mr Woodie looks to be bigger than Colin, hence sharing the TP maybe.

Colin must be making the most of the decent weather we've been enjoying here .. . was back visiting yesterday afternoon but only for a sit on the cliff & a good look around

Given us a miss so far today!

Lovely pics and video Wendy, we've had sun too but a stiff wind making it chilly at times.

North- easterley here Gaynor, brrrrrr! Definitely on the change!

He looks good in the sunshine with that gorgeous plumage but as you say it's getting a bit nippy so we'll have to make the most of the next three days before we head down the thermometer again ! Btw, is that the neighbour saying "Hiya" on the clip - even Colin listened in ? lol

That was Mick talking to passing neighbour ... thought I'd muted the sound so hope no bad language!

Lol Wendy  !    

Weather turned nasty on 25th but Colin not deterred

On cliff @13.12

Flew off almost immediately but came back to nesthole @ 16.54 in worsening weather, poor res through window

Similar story on 26th when wind was even stronger for a lot longer ... @ 14.08 again through window

Bit better on 27th when he was just finishing prey with a tail on TP ... showing his bloomers nicely! Lol

He wasn't ruffled at all standing in the nesthole Wendy was he, though in the second video it looked as if it was raining or blowing dust behind him. Nice to see him looking so good in the third video, lovely colours in his plumage now, thanks for all your work Wendy.
