Two robins engaging nicely on the magnolia tree and the resident wren hopping around in her usual location round the shed, feels spring like with the activity

After a couple of posts last week or so, I’ve got a massive buzzard flying high above Billingham. I’ve seen them regularly enough at a country park a couple of miles to the north but it feels so out of place above an urban landscape. Like the previous posts, buzzard felt like a treat in the Lakes or RSPB reserves etc when I was younger. |

Yep. 2 buzzards sat on street lights that illuminate the main dual carriageway between Windsor -> Slough this morning!! Skylarks in the fields along the Thames path earlier this week too. Near here there’s a spot known as Staines Moor that’s really sandwiched in between the M25, Heathrow and urban dullandia. In recent years a number of short-eared owls have been stopping over in the winter time. They reckon 7 or 8 were here last Feb. Headed down there earlier this week and got great views of one. Also a Marsh Harrier. It is absolutely incredible to me how nature finds a way. Off to the Lakes on Sunday. I expect to see less there! |

Wow we used love running on the footpath along the edge of Staines Moor 😍😍 Especially amusing when the traffic is standstill 😂 |

Lots of photos of swallows less than 50 miles south of us but I haven’t seen any here yet - maybe this week (there seems to be a plume of warmer air coming our way midweek).

@Curly45 let’s hope it survives LHR expansion. The 3rd runway won’t be near it but there’s a chance that the expansion of some other transport services will impact the Moor.
