Fascinating creature Keebs. They can manoeuvre.

Use to throw tiny stones into the air, they catch them and drop them

Did a bit on Scotland last night, the filming was absolutely stunning, just like being there, crystal clear, looked amazing

On again now mate.

Sad times, echos what people are saying about the swallows in this thread, but an increase in Martins?

Nice time of year to get out with a camera mate as well as the rods

No mate, sadly it is what people have been reporting in, which even more sadly is, I suspect the truth

Down here in East Sussex, we are seeing Robins a lot more than usual, also sparrows seem to be doing better than previous years, and Buzzards are well established, magnificent birds, I've even seen red kites, good to see they've spread out down here from Oxford way. 👍....sadly I can't remember the last time I saw a thrush or heard a cuckoo

I've only ever seen a few Kites when I dangled on a few waters on the Shrops/Welsh border. Great bird's to watch raptors. Did see a few mistle thrushes late April, can't recall seeing or hearing a song thrush

Amazing birds red kites. Their wing span is so wide. When they fly over you low, quite impressive for me if I'm honest. Just think yourself lucky your not a rabbit, not a chance!

Once fishing and a bittern came from behind and flew about 5 meters above my brolly, absolutely **** myself, thought it was a Pterodactyl

Yes I'm back, never been away but a bit lost without the footy.

Regarding the red kites, they were reintroduced a few years back around the A40 area and have really established themselves, fantastic to see some have managed to come further south, about 5 years ago I was working in a place called Princes Risborough and every day there would be a dozen or do gliding over our site, apparently the surrounding households use to feed them
