No chemicals apart from "Pond Clear" added last year. The label states it is not harmful to ect ect (cant remember the phrase).

I have just come back from a test ride. I thought I would combine it with looking for the Peregrine again. I couldn't see it where I saw it last time so I cycled back towards home. It was whilst I was watching 3 Buzzards soaring that I noticed a pair of Peregrines milling around way above them. I watched them for a while before they split up and flew off in different directions .

A day for raptors. Whilst sitting at home I saw a pair of Red Kites and a Buzzard fly over my house .

'Our' male swallow returned on Saturday, joined yesterday by his mate. They seem, ahem, quiet pleased to be reunited!
In other news, here's Blanche, our resident white hen pheasant who lives with her mate and two other hens in the field behind the house.

2 days ago, cycling through countryside tree lined tracks and trails alongside the river Nene, a rather large Jay flew up about 10ft in front of me. Lovely looking birds, not uncommon but not often seen unless you're in the right habitat.

I have noticed that some Hedgehogs have left some calling cards on our patio. I haven't seen any of them yet but there are a few deposits .

We had 30 minutes tonight bird watching and saw several spoonbills , a couple of Gadwells , several tufted ducks and pr of teal ducks all on or around a small island that is normally full of gulls
Out on my local trails above Culloden tonight, saw a couple of buzzards, and had to stop to let a panicked young stag find his way back to the woods...
Then shortly after I was nearly taken out by a Capercaillie exploding out of the undergrowth beside me, a real rarity!
EDIT - this was very near the spot :

I have just been watching a Sparrowhawk soaring above my back garden. It was circling around gaining height and then folded it's wings and went into a stoop, diving down finally pulling out and climbing back up again. It then flew off in more or less the same direction it came from .

Saw my first one of the year on Wednesday and others today. Only ones and twos at the minute but very exciting to see.
Plus a willow warbler this afternoon and a cracking male wheatear.

I heard a beaver splash and it was gone.
Out for an evening joggle in Telemark. Dam about six foot high to the left of the photo and the form (or whatever you call it) in the middle, or far right.
I read a book when bothy-bound in the scottish highlands thirty-odd years ago about re-introducing beavers to Scotland. Since then I've had a thing for them. But this is the closest I've been to eyeballing one in the wild.
