House sparrows, again very common, but I had to bike out to find any.

They apparently love the large mechanically hacked hedge between estates; it has so often been filled with mysterious bird song when I pass.

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.

"I saw a Golden Eagle today. At Tebay Services."
"Nah, I think you'll find it was a buzza … ah, ok."

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.

We just spotted a Lesser Redpoll on the feeder. Not sure how rare they are but it's the first time I've ever seen one. #birds #ukbirds

- Dunnock, a much clearer back-garden photo.

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

The new bird feeder camera installed for Sylvie is working very well. This little visitor has practically taken up residence at it.

I've seen Moorhen hundreds of times but, like any other wildlife watching, sometimes a species does something that makes you stop and watch - no matter how often you've seen them.
