Richard LewisGlory-of-the-snow (Scilla forbesii (Baker) Speta) - smatterings of these shy delicate flowers, hiding in the shade and gravelly bits, around neighbourhood. Didn't spot any last year.

Red Kite (Milvus milvus)!
- I dashed inside for SLR when I saw this one slowly floating in over the house.
- Weeks before, almost home, on bike out looking for one; dived our feeder.
- Common Buzzard, another day.

Happy Mother's Day (UK & Ireland)!
- Greek/Balkan Anemone, I wasn't back out on my neighbourhood walks quite early enough to catch, last year. Many around hedge boarders.
- Nonesuch daffodil.
- Lungwort, & another bee focus issue.

Starlings, common, but never in our garden:
- Moon! 2 exposures combined with Gemini. Pleased with my patience, waiting under this branch, on my bike, for 10 minutes.
- Hullo! Yellow beak for mating season?
- Our estate, later.

Jakdaws, common but still impressive:
- Beady eye on me, through our fat-ball feeder cage.
- Pair flying overhead (they often mate for life).
- Huge communal roost taking flight

Birding roundup! First, I took my telephoto to the old pond in the new estate, last month. Lucky to see:
- Cormorant, circling overhead! (But camera ISO struggles/glitches.)
- Eurasian Coot...
- ... Bullying a male Mallard off the water.

- Crow in an silhouetted cedar.
