I watched a sparrowhawk plucking a pigeon for over half an hour on my lawn once.

I was driving along a narrow leafy lane this afternoon when a raptor flew past and landed in a tree. As I crept forward it would take off and stop a short way in front. I had a friend in the car and pulled in at the end of the lane and got my bird book out. We both agreed that we'd been watching a goshawk. Very special to see that. :)

3 Golden Eagles and a few crossbill. It's like being in a different country up in the Cairngorms.

Still seeing jays a'plenty in the cemetery. They're so nonchalant, I'm getting a lovely view of their pinkness, eye markings and the blue at close quarters. I love their flight pattern and the scalloped wings.

ff, common. Will see if we can get some of the local variety tomorrow.

Been a good few day with quite a few life ticks. I'll bore you all with the pictures when we get back :-)

I’m very envious of your trip and look forward too to hearing more about it

Very quiet here. Not seen any pinkies over and only one suspected flock of winter thrushes. No waxwing (yet) ;-)

My back garden has suddenly become a favourite spot for a mob of magpies. There were seven in there at one stage this morning! They all sat on the fence and took turns to fly down and grab the food from the bird table. They seemed to have worked out there was only space for three at a time! 😜😂
