Yes, it is probably a buzzard or hawk, we don't have eagles here, but I have seen the buzzard/hawk now and then, gliding or hovering but too high to recognize.Since the flock was not actually croaking like crows do, we are not sure what they could be. We do have lots of crows here so perhaps...

Hi pip. Haven't seen any Swallowtails since I took that pic. We have had very few butterflies this year for some reason and it's not been a hot summer so I don't know why, but I'm new to this since last Autumn.Strangely, on today's outing I had a Clouded Yellow (?) right in front of me on a...

wooow..."Hera" would be pleased...http://homepage.mac.com/cparada/GML/Argus1.html

Thanks DAG, and yes, I did get up close and even used the macro. I made soft clicking noises and moved up slowing, step by step, until I could get these photos. I've done this several times with other animals and got closer than they would normally permit a person to.

Could well be a resident Strongy, either way, you are lucky to see one, they`ve all dissappeared from up here. I also get long tailed tits appearing every now and then,like yours,they don`t stay long.

The cat took everything out of the nest. I have moved it higher and away from the clematis that it climbed to get to the nest. So I really hope they come back. I have 3 nest boxes in the garden 1 never used the other used by a cheeky squirrel to store nuts and this one that as only been used once.

Almost every day now, Cal is bringing into the house the most humongous locusts you've ever seen and we immediately retrieve them, some not with the success we would like.Boo doesn't seem to bother with them ... at age 12 he lived for the first half of his life in England and didn't encounter...
