Into day 6 of self-isolation but at least we can go into the garden. Our garden is very small but I planted some bird-friendly plants and we have some regular visitors such as these New Holland Honeyeaters on one of our Grevillea plants.

Two blue tits had a good look inside our next box again today. They didn't come back with building stuff unfortunately.

Heron near the cycle path in the Rhine valley, so still I'm still not convinced it was real.
A couple of storks. They were much closer until I brought my camera out and then wandered off...

Yesterdays dog walk, two butterflies and plenty of bees. We had a whopper of a bumblebee in the house a few days ago. Lovely creatures.

Butterflies, bees, wren, cumnock, red kite, etc etc etc and a fine looking sparrowhawk I think, overtook me 10 ft away as I rode along a countryside single track road, it was low, hugging a ditch / hedge, inches from the hedge, flitting up and down perfectly to avoid branches . Dark brown uniform back (no dappling visible) scythe shaped wings and a grey nape of its neck seemed visible. At first it made me think Merlin, but realistically Sparrowhawk. Lovely sight for maybe 5 to10 seconds as it went past, hugging the ditch then flitted sideways through a gap into an adjacent field.

A Curlew near Bowscar Hill, Penrith, followed by a Toad.
Was the curlew walking, or the toad flying?

I stumbled across some of those when I was lost on the lanes between Birmingham and Redditch. I didn't think I'd strayed that far from home

That's some scenic route home then
How are our bird lists looking today? Been looking wistfully at the bike and pondered a corona ride but decided to stay fully at home today and look out of the windows. So far I’ve seen pair of blackbirds, robins, dunnocks, great tits, magpies, wood pigeon and bluetits. A wren and goldfinch also dropped in. Further afield and using a scope I have shelduck, greylag, swans, oyster catchers and lapwing. We are fortunate in having a field and a river and woodland habitat not far away. Feel very privileged in these days of restricted movement.

I saw a dead badger on Hazelwell Road, Stirchley, about 4 miles from Birmingham city centre.
