Looking down upon our regular hog feeding place last night

Damselfly examining the original layout of the Mellerstain Estate house and gardens

@Alex H lets hope it doesn’t get up set by the architecture, otherwise it’ll be a damsel in distress.


I’ll get me coat.

Just remembered I saw some Sand Martins yesterday as I was leaving my house. They nest up at the golf course. Shame there are no longer any swallows as their nesting sites have been destroyed and converted
into holiday homes.

Busy evening on the bird table

Family of Long-tailed Tits visited yesterday,

so busy flitting everywhere it was hard to get a pic, but here's two juveniles checking out a feeder.
The one on the left is moulting into adult plumage - pale cheeks - while t'other still has dark cheeks. Gorgeous little fluffballs!

Can I give a double like?

Brilliant, had a similar experience at a lodge in Jasper many years ago before the days of digital cameras / mobile phones.

I've just had to rescue a bat (Common Pipistrelle I think) from reception at work. How the little bugger got in I've no idea, but it's now safely outside on the sheltered side of a secluded tree trunk. I appear to be chief animal wrangler at work, spiders, wasps, woodlice in the bog, nobody else will tackle them. I've never had a bat though!

This blackbird with it's distinctive markings is a daily visitor to our garden

Just rescued a Goldfinch and the chick it had kept alive for two days stuck in a pipe. Bloomin good parenting.

One of those annoying fleeting glances of a hawk where you know its not the normal kestrel or sparrowhawk...but too quick to really gather anything of note.
Smallish, dove sized, Hobby or Merlin I thought, erring toeard a Merlin because of its darker appearance.
