Clara Vale and Far Pastures

 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.

 Buzzard. 


Crows were constantly dive bombing it.
