Really frustrating afternoon here. The Forestry Commission has given permission for many hectares of trees to be felled in the woods at our local quarry and they moved in today – at the height of nesting! When questioned we were told… I quote ” each driver checks inspects each tree from their seat” Really? I know the machines are big, but THAT…Read More

Beautiful day today in the Big Smoke. Went up to meet work buddies some of whom I’ve known since 1973. Good day for a walk along the Southbank with the camera especially when the vision is enhanced by a glass or two (or three🤣) of white wine 🥂

Getting very excited to see red kites flying over our garden. Two days in a row now (and today there was a group of three) so it looks as though they might finally have extended their territory to this part of Sussex. Still way too high for anything decent photographically, but I live in hope.

Nice idea! But I fear the foxes will get there first!

Wow! I’m not sure I’m ready for that many! I remember watching flocks of them around Reading a few years back. Here, three flying overhead (and moving away, not circling) is a lot.

I’d be very happy to see them flying overhead too, perhaps more will follow soon.

Excellent zoom last night chaps thank yo very much and very well done Barry. Plenty of cow pats about plus the ponies but haven’t seen a dung fly this year yet. Very little wildlife either, I presume they must still be locked down.

That’s terrible. And the excuse about checking is hopeless. Do you have any wildlife police up there who could be contacted? We called our local ones when a tower block was being demolished where I worked and they were great. We were assured by the contractors (wrongly) that they had checked for nests before starting. They hadn’t and herring gul…Read More
