Curly45 9 Jul 4:39pm, 9 Jul 2024 4,718 posts	0 Curly45 Classic heron japes at a pond on the edge of the village this morning. Pond already has a fake heron deterrent, really heron stood very very still until it realised fake heron was fake and then it moved to grab some fish, missed and the f blew off as it saw us watching, but still amusing 😂🐠

Pothunter 10 Jul 9:11pm, 10 Jul 2024 9,115 posts	0 Pothunter Yesterday evening I saw about 20 swifts over the park. This evening I saw some sort of smallish falcon/kestrel. It was just a bit far away and the light was wrong to see much more than a silhouette. Will have to keep a lookout over the next few days!
icemaiden 11 Jul 10:14am, 11 Jul 2024 5,774 posts	0 icemaiden Gulls catching flies, seems to be a bit unusual but I have seen it twice recently. Given that we live as far from the sea as it is possible to get I suppose they are making the most of what there is naturally available as well as human waste. Last night there were maybe a dozen gulls flying into a swarm of flies that was on the lee side of an ash tree. The flies were visible with binoculars from quite a distance so there were loads of them, and the gulls flew into the cloud of flies time and again.
