Today, in Lincolnshire/Rutland :  1 red kite, several buzzards, 2 bullfinches, first swallow of the year, woodpecker (heard not seen) and several boxing hares.  A good day really!

Walking between Lewes and Brighton what I think was a peregrine falcon and several skylarks. TBH I didn't actually look for all the skylarks

A Jay right outside my front door, SW6, looking like it was getting food for the little ones.

This is sixth animal that I have been told while growing up are rare to spot in built up areas and very shy to humans. All these I have seen within steps from my front door in London.

Crows doing a mating dance,
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Evidence that the vole the cat brought in last week is alive and well and, er, nesting in my recycling-to-go.   :-\
It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

The vole that skittered across my path on yesterday's Spring Into The Dales is only just alive and well, by a few centimetres!

A tadpole.

And a cormorant fishing.

A badger sett which had been undergoing maintenance last night or this morning. The fresh-dug earth thrown out of two holes was still damp. It's the biggest sett I know near here, a short walk from Satwell.

In the Chilterns, so plenty of red kites, of course.

Night Heron.

Quite unusual for these shores and this one, on Two Tree Island, had generated quite a lot of interest amongst the spotting scope brigade.
