Time to start this year's thread of odds and sods (Last year's Odds & Sods HERE)
Today a large flock of 40 or so Redwings descended on the fields around our local parkland and although they were pretty skittish and distant I hard cropped a few pics for you ....
and a blue tit landed nearby !

Linda257 said:I had a visitor just before 1 this morning. " Mum theres a bat in the bathtub "....I flew outta bed hoping for a pic lol...poor bat was going mental as I opened the door ever so slightly. The window is behind the door and bathroom is pretty small so no way of getting in without it getting out into the hallway. Finally managed to get in when it landed to push the window further open in the hope it would fly out but no it didn't wanna leave.
How inconsiderate of the bat not to allow you at least one piccie!
Seriously, well done managing to get the poor little thing back to where it belongs.

I sometimes think we should have a thread dedicated to molluscs, not the most delectable of creatures, but very much part of the ecosystem and food chain....
This one seemed to want to be in on the scene.....
And this one was going for wander.....
One of the Sheffield peregrines this morning.
