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!

A few from the garden this morning. :-)
The joys of youth......
......versus the benefits of knowledge and experience.!!
Two different Pud's, in case you weren't sure.!! :-)
My bird photos HERE
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
A few from today and the first time I've picked the camera up for ages; starting with the lovely yellow colour of rapeseed oil crop
skylarks were singing and sky-dancing but too difficult for me to get a photo of, no bins and bad eyes !
very distant but did manage to see one of the Lapwings that frequent this area
I saw at least six common buzzards today; two pairs for sure
a little too distant to get clear shots so had to hard crop these pics ….
Carrion crow looking for tasty morsels in the pony paddock
Blue Tit surprised to see a human being outside !!
a rather tatty looking Robin
I put butterflies on the dedicated thread but forgot to add this Speckled Wood
and there was a little Polo practice going on …. I had the wrong lens on so record shot only.
Lot to learn
Evening all - thought I'd add some of my photos from today's walk... Haven't got out much recently but sun was out again today so off I wandered!
LTT:
Jackdaw with a grubby beak:
Comma:
And a record shot of a Grey Wagtail - always nice to see something a bit out of the ordinary!
