Starting with a first for me ... Sparrowhawk in neighbour's garden here in quarry, only ever seen a seemingly lost youngster many years ago!
Grabbed ID vid footage through d/glazed door, then battery died & by time I'd replaced it to go outside for better res a delivery driver stopped next door & frightened the bird off!! grrrrrr
Hope it's a one-off for the sake of my Spadger horde!

Glad you can still take the occasional photo.

Shh, don't tell everyone!

If you let him have his own phone he could text when he finds stuff
Lovely photos, and I like the kestrel pics.

He's got an old iPhone5s like mine but he would have been over half a mile away from me when he saw the Kestrel and Wabbits; what I need to do is teach him some basic photography so he can use my other camera lol

Leap of faith!
More likely the leap for food.....
The feeder it left was empty, and the fat balls seem to be more appetising....

Thank you.
Considering it was taken through the kitchen window, which is as mucky as h.... the clarity amazed me.
I guess the song thrush is doing a little nest building....hopefully close by!
A little mud...
a little more......
wow big bit more!
and off she goes...
Lot to learn
