We have a white tailed eagle here at the moment.
The buzzards can be pale but the rough legged ones here can be very white

I’ll look out for white tailed. I’ll see one one day from the Devon coast.

Rent, manage and spend much time relaxing in a three acre paddock next to my cottage, and have been doing so for decades.
I've changed to a late summer mowing regime, and given up haymaking in the last six years.
I've been live trapping small mammals this summer again, and the numbers are staggering this year.
Spent last evening watching a young barn owl roding right over my head. I was under the canopy of a field side oak tree, and he put on a show of vole-catching for me and the dog. Flutter; hover; swoop; bob about in the long grass; lift; a few beats; dinner passed, flopping, from beak to claw. And off into the shadows of an ash tree, filled with holes, one of which is no doubt home.
There is a corridor of barn owls here, east and west, using lowland grasses, stream, ditch and river banks. At the eastern extent I'm told by my man at Natural England, the largest concentration of madge in Europe.

I took some pictures of sundews. I think they’re a little stunted after the April drought.

Had the grandkids for dinner ( ooer missus), our son and his partner had a bit of fishing, a pub lunch and an hour or so over Eldernell, a SSSI on the Nene washes. A bittern, Marsh harrier plus all the usual stuff.
First Bittern he's ever seen, I've never seen (or heard ) one.

The bees I collected from the school next door have been mega busy since I added them to the hive
They even created more honeycomb in the grass outside the hive ! I’ve picked that up with all the bees still working and slid it inside the hive
