Our Mistle Thrush
25th May 2025
I’m always harping on about how lucky we are to have all the birds we do as garden visitors but, to have a Mistle Thrush drop in on a regular basis is pretty special to me.

Red Kite

Kite a walk Pt. 2
11th Apr 2025
I do hope no-one minds that I split my walk into two parts? This is the big part, to me anyway, where the Red Kites started cruising around me, allowing me to photograph them in quite close proximity. I see them at Backwater reservoir quite often now. I’d made my way to the second gate, … More Kite a walk Pt. 2
