Sand Martins





Seen 1000's of sand martins today, never seen so many at one sight. A pleasure to watch. Also living close by was a peregrine. Easy food so he hangs around!

Little Owl






Found this family of little owls last week, 2 adults and 3 chicks. Went to the site again yesterday and one of the chicks had died. We found the body, possibly taken by a fox. The two remaining chicks are very active now and have mastered the art of flight!

Sparrowhawk





Blue sky and a lovely bird !

Perch

Don't see many pics of fish !

Black Tailed Skimmer


Goshawk





Very distant shots of a goshawk taken at Whykeham Forest.

Garden hedgehog



These have bred in our garden and each evening two youngsters venture out to see whats for supper. It's usually a tin of dog food which they love!
