            Had hoped to catch a white tailed eagle while on Mull last week but wasn't fast enough to grab the camera when one appeared. However did manage to catch this buzzard. bird2.jpg

                A wren pecking on the patio this morning but too quick for me.
                The bees were breakfasting on the cosmos. Here's a couple IMG_2627.JPG

                  I didn't have my camera with me whilst mowing so missed a great shot.

                  I was emptying the wheel barrow full of clippings when a Sparrowhawk flew down and sat on the fence 2ft away and supervised. I could have stretched out my arm and touched him - if he would have let me.

                  I stopped what I was doing and chatted to him but he just stared at me! :noidea: He probably only stayed a minute or two but it seemed much longer.
