    Two out of three visiting Little Stints, the smallest wader seen in the UK, passing through from near the Arctic Circle to over winter in Africa. There were five Ruff but too far away for a pic.

                    Our three crows are back in the garden after a long summer holiday. They've been regulars for years and I have photos of them going back about ten years (two are easily recognisable - especially 'Spotty' who has a brown spot on his wing).

                    How long do they live?

                        @Jiffy , last time I saw anything like that was 1976.
                        We had an invasion of ladybirds being blown over from Europe.
