What's Buzzing or Flying near you today.... 2014

You were lucky to catch the Woodpecker in action Yvonne.

 

The parents are in and out of the nest at a furious rate. You can just about hear the chirping from the chicks every time a parent arrives, so sweet!

 

All these pictures are absolutely lovely

 

Also saw the other day a Crow carrying off a baby Blackbird with a dozen adult Blackbirds screeching in tow. It let go after been dive bombed by the Blackbirds over and over again, vicious little beggers. Felt a bit sorry for him afterwards, learnt his lesson though...probably not actually!

 

I'll be lucky if there's any chicks left in my garden by the time the Crows and Magpies have finished stealing the eggs....

 

No nests this year so far.

 

Had the doors and windows open today and the swallows were flying in the back door up the stairs and out the window, this one stopped for a rest and i got a pic

 

@Jiffy ...What a treat,great shot

 

Don't think Miss Jiff will think much of the poo on the mirror

 

A morning at Seacome Valley and Winspit disused open cliff quarry four miles West of Swanage.

Nothing special, no Peregrines or Spotted Flycatchers, just the regulars but plenty of them.
Stonechat.




Common Whitethroats, everywhere, I lost count.


Meadow Pipit.


Winspit stone quarry.
