It has the most gorgeous googly 'eyes'!I've since learned that it is an Elephant Hawkmoth, but I shall now refer to it as Colin

Very: the river is about 20m away, and there's at least one, possibly two mill races running within 20m in the other direction.

Thought this looked a bit unusual. Just upstream of Trent Bridge in Nottingham. Most juvenile Canada Geese stick together in big groups; this individual was all by itself, and looks to me as if it might be a cross between Greylag and Canada. Any comments welcome.
Further upstream, just before the Clifton bridge, I heard a Buzzard mewing and saw it take refuge towards the top of a pylon, pursued by a smaller bird, which was also quite vocal. Can't be sure, but it looks (and sounded) to me like a Green Woodpecker.

I don't know what it is, but I must say I love the yellow paint job!

Deffo a Green Woodpecker. The goose is trickier. It seems to be mainly Greylag but not 100%. Perhaps it's second generation so would be 75% Greylag, 25% Canada?
