I put some more wool out for the Sparrows again this morning, all gone in 15 minutes

whyulittle · 13-04-2012 11:27PM

Hares were pretty chilled out today.

First time to ever see a Fox during the day, but not where you want to see it - right in the Partridge/Lapwing nesting area.

Great shot!I've been trying to get a shot like this in Bushy Park,myself and know how hard it is.

whyulittle · 15-04-2012 10:33PM

Had two pair of Buzzards tumbling and diving about today, they looked more like Lapwing!

Also male and female HH, and a hunting Merlin - great stuff!

:eek:
How did you get so close to him?

thyme · 18-04-2012 11:34PM

I was a lot closer at one point, I was just about to climb over an old stone wall on my way back home after a long stroll on Sunday morning, when this little fella comes running along the top of the wall, it did not see me until it was at arms length from me.
But then it turned and ran back the way it came, dam it I thought missed a good photo there, heard something on the ground and there it was at my feet .

thyme · 18-04-2012 11:50PM

Pigeon for lunch anyone!.

vandriver · 19-04-2012 11:39AM

V Bull · 21-04-2012 06:23PM

I was told that 1 was sighted last week on the raised Tomduff walk heading towards the hide coming from the hump..No calling reported yet..

whyulittle · 21-04-2012 06:31PM

Cool - you were guaranteed one on that section last year alright. I might have to wander over that far tomorrow and have a look.

whyulittle · 22-04-2012 09:45PM

Willow Warbler
