I was taking pictures of a roosting bee fly the other day.

One solitary Swallow. Flew over the garden earlier. I pointed it out to phal but she missed it.

Superb picture jacdaw, I tried but failed miserably. Mountain walk today, saw plenty of wheatears on the way up and a couple of stonechat. I did have a faint hope we might hear a cuckoo, but no joy.

One shellduck plus a pair of moorhen with nine tiny young plus two oyks on the dew pond near Embsay. The moorhen babies were quite cute

I'm out sitting in my field and U just saw a bird of prey but not sure which one. I thought it was a pigeon so maybe that sort of size. Reddish back. Black wing tips. Very pointy wings and I think a long tail. Kestrel? But looking at kestrel pictures I think the wings were more curved back and pointier on what I saw.

Sounds like a male kestrel. Was it hovering?

No. It landed on the telegraph pole and I thought "that's an odd looking pigeon" then it flew over the field and weaved through the pine trees and flew away. I did think Kestrel but it was very boomerang shaped in flight and I didn't know if that was right.
