            Jenny, now they have colonised Bournemouth Airport, we keep getting Lesser Spotted and Great Crested Ryanairs overhead.:biggrin:

            Sedge Warbler, Swineham Point Wareham, one of dozens, mainly youngsters and stocking up for possibly a nonstop flight to West Africa.

                10 minutes walk from our house, among hedgerows we saw a family of whitethroat, this youngster is just so cute
                image.jpg

                image.jpg

                While my attention was on whitethroats, this fellow landed nearby. I thought it was a young Siskin at first, turned out to be a yellowhammer which I've never seen before. Felt quite excited that these birds lives so near to me.

                On the way back home, I took a few snap shots of house martins swooping around a building. Only after loading the photos on the computer did I see the house sparrow on the gutter and a swallow resting on the roof tile.
                image.jpg

                And the swallow took to its wing.

                          Yep, she was quite co-operative, Jenny, but the conditions weren't.:wallbanging: It was very breezy and gusting so the flower head was jumping and swinging around so it took a little patience to get the shots especially as I was kneeling down and trying to keep my hands steady.:hate-shocked::snork:

                              Walking around Lanhydrock gardens the other day, we spotted this fledgling thrush in a flower bed. It just sat there unconcerned, with people passing within inches. Mrs Trunky managed to get this photo of it. :)
