I’m way behind with my processing of the images I have taken over the past few weeks however I just had to get my first Cuckoo of the year in. A male Chaffinch did not like it hanging around and chased it off a few times but it was there long enough for me to get (quite) a few images.
A recent trip to Clara Vale didn’t produce Kingfisher but there was still some canny birds there. I didn’t go into the hide at Far Pastures but instead I had a walk up the lane a couple of birds stood out.
Chiffchaff from the hide at Clara.
This Mistle Thrush looked up and
this is what it saw a Sparrowhawk.
It then carried on doing what it had been doing.
