Brilliant indeed.


Today on my ride amongst other "stuff"
A Stoat ran across in front
Buzzards
Sparrowhawk hunting
Kestrel

and very surprisingly over where I was - two Red Legged Partridge.

On my ride today, a most brilliant duck, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. Seeing one of these at full steam at 100 miles per hour must be truly majestic.

Riding into work this morning a woodpecker drumming. On my way home, 3 jays and a tree sparrow.

5 baby robins

Just come back in from a very wet ride ! Lovely to be out though, despite the weather. I saw five fallow deer, plus the usual suspects...squirrels, etc. Cup of tea time now.

Spring comes slowly in the Peak District. Yesterday my ride spent a lot of time more than 800ft above sea level so despite the sunshine it was still quite quiet.

Chiffchaff in Millers Dale was the only one I heard on the whole ride. Plenty of ravens messing about. There were a few skylarks, meadow pipits and pied wagtails singing on the upland farms. A few nuthatches singing in the woods and a mewing buzzard that I never saw

Ahhhhh. First chiffchaff of the year has just started up

 

[slowmotion]

Mrs Tit has started sleeping in the nest box. She fluffs up her feathers before settling down
She started to do that within the last week.

Beautiful day yesterday, blue skies and chilly to start with but temp up to 15 by mid afternoon, saw my first butterflies of the year. Still a few pink footed geese grazing the fields but most have gone. Lots of skylarks singing. Still yet to see my first summer migrants but now the the winds have calmed surely they can't be long.

Yep, time to start scanning the skies for the first swallow soon I think Absolutely love this time of the year.

We saw the first bat of the season last night, balmy evening with plenty of insects about (minus those we swallowed on our ride earlier )

My little robin never returned to her babies and they have all died I didn't take a peek for a couple of days so as not to disturb her but could tell she had never been back as they hadn't moved or changed.

Sorry to hear that.
On a better note, saw my first summer migrant today, (at last !), a chiffchaff singing

A pair of Great Crested Grebes in St Aidan's country park this afternoon. Now THERE'S handsome birds!
