Enjoying the sunshine - our tawny owl has returned to the gardens. As soon as I tried for a better position it slipped down out of sight :)

She was at Morton lochs yesterday afternoon when I was cycling in fife.

A young badger I filmed back in May tucking in to raisins, the soundtrack is provided by a young woodpecker looking out of its hole above me.

Edit:

My short Badger video has made it's way on to the 'BBC Spring Watch twitter' page... I've added a link here and at the bottom of the comments.

Just love the tones...... Been to reedbeds at all different times of the year, late spring though and you get these gorgeous colours which change with the light... Just add a bird & I'm ecstatic!

Spring Watch - Starling chick

Red Kite over the Gwrhyd mountain in the Amman valley in West Wales.

Cuteness overload! One from the summer a Great Crested Grebe carrying its youngster on its back. 😍😍

This Comma has been hibernating in a family members garage, but they are about to have the roof repaired so we have transported it into my greenhouse and hopefully less disturbances in the coming months. The male Comma is slightly darker than the female, and both sexes have a brighter golden form called Hutchinsoni, which is produced by the earliest caterpillars that developed in spring.

Although they are gull-like, Fulmars are "tubenose" (having large, raised nasal tubes), more closely related to albatrosses.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.

I think this is common stump brittlestem but need confirmation. Epping Forest - the tree may be hornbeam.

Having been skulking and fishing, he clocked the Lady Bittern... A swim was in order!

This is the nest that has been lovingly built in the Laundry Outhouse at our farm... A very busy place but mum has raised four beautiful chicks in there despite the comings and goings!

Shown on BBC Springwatch 4 June 2020.

This shot whilst not as good as those I would take later further down the lane, has a lovely soft feel created by the first rays of a new day.

On reviewing my pics from last week, I realised I had actually filmed both the upper barn owls.

These two shots were from my first encounter of the day. He flew off down the lane, having watched me for a few minutes, as I crouched down by a farm gate.

When I came across his partner a few minutes later, I incorrectly assumed they were the same bird.
