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!

Lot to learn
Common Buzzard from yesterday, outside our apartment.
full rainbow taken from our balcony, about three days ago when the gloom came over ! in fact there was a double rainbow seen at one stage
You can just about make it out in the next photo - a faint outline of another rainbow above the very visible one

@ Tony, I think I'd have a big smile on my face if a Red Kite flew over ! there are a few that have been seen in Cheshire, Lancashire and over Woolston Eyes too but I'd have to be lucky to be in the right place at the right time unlike some lucky people who get them calling in their garden for a chicken dinner LOL
photo of Buzzard was taken just outside apartment at ground floor level.
