Another late afternoon at Burdon Moor with at least three Buzzards displaying (although at a distance). A pair of Kestrel were also out hunting, presumably the same pair that I saw the previous afternoon. I was also pleased to see a male Stonechat and a Meadow Pipit.
Displaying Buzzards.
A couple of them eventually came quite close.

If you were allowed a favourite duck this would be mine, a male Smew. This one was at Studley Royal yesterday.
It caught not one fish
but two while I was there.
This Sparrowhawk killed one of the Pigeons that are hanging around the village at the moment.
Some images from the Northumberland Coast a couple of weeks ago.

I have just started to go through some of the images taken some weeks ago now (I still have loads to go through) these are from Far Pastures.
