Peter. You took the words out off my mouth. I think the other one is also a peregrine

Hi Ste

 

I think the left picture is a peregrine - but a youngster. Doesn't appear to have all it's grown up feathers.

Have you seen my peregrine thread Paul? Here's a link with all the details and a link to a live web cam. The first egg is due to hatch next week - although we are waiting with baited breath as the severe cold and snow may have stopped the eggs developing.

I haven't a clue what this is, I took the photo at the Safari Park this afternoon, it kept opening and closing it's mouth and it had these rows of really sharp teeth, I don't think it's a piranha though

 

 

Looks like a moray eel I think.

Looks like a Moray eel to me to. Don't know about the horns though

 

Ste

 

 

Maybe it's a Horned Moray.

It didn't say what it was in the description.

It's definitely an eel of some sorts.

Try and get a photo of the Swallows driving to work Pete, I'd love to see that :-)

That made me smile Pete. I had my cat called Little Smith for 18 years - lost him three years ago. :(

 

Anyway, i had a really vivid dream about him one night. It was his first day at work and I waived him off from the front gate as he set off on his push bike with his sandwiches in a rucksack on his back! :D Still makes me smile. I miss my little cat.

I saw a Cuckoo on Sunday Steve, sadly a species in decline

 

Anyway back to the images, a Grebe fancies a Perch

Martyn. I was fishing at border fisheries on Sunday, no sign or sighting of Cuckoos in a area that normally supports them.

Love the Grebe picture mate, tried to get pics of the mating dance earlier this year but failed

I can of course but not the same somehow  :lol:

 

Just watching them now, blown away by how attentive the parents are!

 

 

 

 

Hi Joan, nice to see the youngsters ... hard to imagine that if they survive those little fluffy things will be able to reach speeds of 200 MPH when they grow up.

Yellow hammer taken near Tenby. Sorry about the over exposure on the background but if you click on the picture you can see the bird properly

 

Ste

 

 

Wow - dead jealous.  It`s been decades (literally) since I`ve seen a Yellow Hammer  :thumbup:

Managed a couple of hours fishing at week-end saw both swallows and sand martins (Scottish borders area). And my 1st butterfly this year, a Green veined white (had to check my books to confirm).
