Raptor rapture!

Sitting on the patio, chilling. Merlin app going. Hear a bird, sounds like it's in the tree above.

Look at the Merlin app: #Osprey

I'm doubtful. Lean back and look up. Yep, it's an osprey at low level, circling and calling.

Cool! Not enough time to get the long lens for the iPhone. But I can clearly see the marking.

I saw one of these tiny cute birds at a local bus stop earlier. It was very tame and seemed to have learnt to scavenge little bits left by humans. Anyone have idea what it was? I'm in SE England.

A young blue tit (I think) next to our bird feeder. The usual yellow feathers are vibrant but the blue is a light grey.

A very friendly Nilgans (Nile goose or Egyptian goose in English?) who came up to us to say hello and then followed us for a bit. We decided it's name is Neil. Neil Gans.
