Lovely mammal spotting HowFar? I would love to see an otter.

You’re not alone, Heinzster. Bundoran and Rossnowlagh will be full of folks from East of the Bann for the next couple of months.😀 Luckily, we have plenty of space.

I think I may leave it until the rush is over, to be fair!

Not a definite, but pretty sure I spotted a hobby yesterday from my car yesterday as I was going through the Brecklands. At first sight I thought it was a kestrel, definite falcon shape, but it seemed to be moving differently somehow and was obviously grey rather than russet. Shame I couldn't get a better view. Other drivers would not have favoured my slamming my brakes on on the busy A11 though.

I had a similar sighting a few summers ago from the car in the Midlands. Obviously a raptor but not kestrel. Looked more like a large dark swift

Fab spots HF? 😀

Love seeing a Hobby 😀😀

Just heard a Rook in the garden area - back door open - not seen though. I know we have a nesting pair over on the school playing fields not too far away, but that’s the first time I’ve heard them near the house 😀

Another nice kingfisher sighting yesterday, when I stopped by the river during a run. One flew by doing its characteristic whistle. Any day is automatically at least 2.3% better as a result of seeing a kingfisher.
