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!

And from me and Mr GB, too, Hazel--best of luck with the final moving of stuff (and cleaning the rental place!) and with installing all of your new purchases once things become possible again. Not to mention, hope you can be reunited with all of your stored things very soon (after the new carpets are down, of course!) Which birds will you miss the most? For me it would be the House Martins, Swallows and Tree Sparrows.
Kind regards, Ann
It wouldn't be normal if a grey squirrel didn't turn up but I won't be taking this one with me !
As always, looking so innocent and not guilty of anything lol

Thank you on both the cuckoo spit and supplying a working FR24 link. My apologies re the Flight Radar link, it was an old one and I know they've had a big make-over since I last visited it properly

I rarely ever have a go with the 1.4X tele-converter, but thought I'd give it a bash today. :-)

Lot to learn
Well still pretty much locked down up here so wa trailing through my archives and found this. Felt compelled to share as they are one of my favourites.
This footage got left behind on my cam & only discovered it when I downloaded Colin's ;latest visit ... this Jackdaw on the same cliff face Colin favours at times ... it is eating chalk!! I have been advised that it needs this to aid egg production? The Jackdaws are quite new visitors & still learning their habits!
It's interesting how bird often peck at brick walls and now chalk areas; I know the house sparrows at the rental place were constantly pecking at the red brick wall and mortar joints or at the fluorescence for their various properties - some of which is explained HERE Not only Bearded Reedlings that need grit to aid break up and digestion either !
