It's not a feather..... it's the middle finger of it's right wing.

I stood outside beside a hedge while the kids were doing glitter art, and this little fella popped up literally 3 feet away. He ate a worm , went off into the bushes, came back to the same spot then devoured insects i stirred up in some fallen leaves at my feet.
just a fledgling, or this years clutch, hardly any tail on it

I got soaked at work this morning, so I didn’t bother doing any this afternoon. I went to Aveton Gifford which is along the river Avon. I used the van as a hide along the tidal road.
The swallow pictures are ok, had it been brighter I could have used a faster shutter speed…. I’ll try to go back on a sunny day.

Sadly no camera….
I was out on my bike about 4 this afternoon.
I stopped at a gateway for a pee and had the pleasure of watching a peregrine knocking the stuffing out of a buzzard for a few minutes.
The peregrine was making a big noise ke ke ke ke ke! The buzzard was in no rush to get out of it.
The peregrine would go in for an attack, they would stumble and tussle, then the peregrine would do a high loop and go in feet first again.
Great stuff.

By chance this morning fluttering across the kitchen floor was a 20 plumed moth. Alucita hexadactyla no less!

In the garden I have a cranesbill that flowers forever.
The bees love it.
I’ve resorted to using the identification feature on my iPhone as it’s all beyond my knowledge, apart from the honey bee.

I could hear the familiar rattle of a magpie & there was Pica pica on the other side of the fence (just above the left side of the handlebar).
In the sunshine, the colours in the feathers are always something really beautiful.

Female Sparrowhawk with young Woodpigeon in our garden ~19:30 this evening.
Keep up the good work!
She tried to fly off with it, but found it too heavy and dropped it on the top of a Mahonia. Having worked hard for such a prize, she won't abandon it, surely! Now we need a Goshawk to thin out the Grey Squirrels. Fat chance of that, though!
