Was up the Haugh this morning and nice to have Mrs Sprawk on the pathway with breakfast

And a few other sightings


Finally got a spotted flycatcher last week at Langlands moss and a nice Darter

The sprawk is looking very protective of it's meal :nod:

A nice brown coo :) The wren is looking chirpy and great shots of the deer.

Flycatcher is still on my wanted list, nice find.

I don't often see a hawker dragonfly, nice find.

Sprawk was struggling to fly with its breakfast hence why I got a semi decent shot
It was flaming stampede of coos but only picked him out cos he was struggling :shrug:
Always a bit of fun chasing jenny about the reeds :rolleyes:
Hope a flycatcher finds you :laugh:

Good mixture of four-legged and avian subjects :photo: :clap:
Was that a Jackdaw Mrs Sprawk had captured?

Thanks JS, eh a corvid of some sort but seemed pretty decomposed as she flew off with it so not a fresh catch
