Kingfisher
'It flew past me on a stretch of Bourn Brook but didn't call
and divert off over land as they usually do. It turned, hovered for a second
and flew back past me to perch on an overhanging old post, one that I've always
hoped a kingfisher would land on but have never seen! These actions seemed
different and when I luckily got a bit closer without it flying off, I saw it
had dark feet rather than red. An adult zoomed by a few minutes later and the
youngster called and followed it off.' EG

Little Owl
'... it was absolutely fantastic to see the fledgling briefly
pop out of the tree trunk to have a look around and any pictures
were better than nothing so I thought I'd send them in!' EG

Robin
Just a few more weeks and I will really look my best!!!
Magpie
This bird visits my feeders several times a day. If I do not top them up, it chatters away outside our conservatory door to remind me to replenish them. GP
Common Buzzard
'A local farmer friend alerted me to the fact that the single offspring of a pair of Buzzards which have been around his farm for years was about to fledge, as (he) had seen it out of the nest, on a branch, flapping away like mad.
I went up to the oak tree which housed the nest and as I was looking at it, which I thought would be the only reward for my journey as the bird had probably flown, lo and behold the juvenile hopped out of the nest onto a branch where it stayed for all of 10 seconds before launching itself into the air. It flew perfectly and was soon in the company of it's parents who reacted to it's calls.' AG
