          Well caught Jiffy, I mean you catching the shot, not the bird catching the Pigeon. :) It looks like a Sparrowhawk to me.

            Today our red kite was circling above our garden, as usual, with two young ones accompanying him. One on either side and slightly behind him. No chance to take a photo. The adult was gliding as usual but the kids needed to flap their wings occasionally :)

                @Jiffy, male, they have the orangey breast. The female's is grey.

                Six Cattle Egrets were at a farm nearby.
                It's amazing to remember that all three Egrets have just colonised the UK in the last 30 years.

                    We have lots of Egrets, but I don't know which species.

                        The Long Tailed Tits were back today. They tend to arrive when the temperature starts to drop.

                            Peregrine falcon eating a cricket, seems hardly worth the effort.
