A Peregrine Falcon in full hunting flight. It was bloody hard trying to focus and track it against the cliff face and at the speed it was flying. Steve

Have to time it right on that water Steve, it`s not very deep and the place really is stuffed with Tench and bream & Crucians, 100lb is a common weight, you have to time it so they have just started waking up and feeding up before spawning, otherwise there is that many eggs in the water, they just feed on that, and then the bites are very twitchy, but when it`s right, it`s madness, every cast a fish mate. Oh they like catching Rats, i have a mate, who has a farm, he lets mine and his jack russells in his barns for the day, he has an old stihl saw engine with a length of pipe on the exhaust, and puts the pipe down the holes, and they just stand and wait, it`s great to see them doing what they were made for, 46 came out last time we were there, had to lift the dog into the car at the end of the day, she was that knackered. :):)

This year I planned on getting a photograph of an Orange Tip butterfly.  Imagine my surprise when I came across 8 roosting for the evening on two Garlic Mustard plants (a food plant of theirs).  There were 4 on each plant.  6 females and 2 males.  Even the Butterfly Conservation have never seen that many of these butterflies in one place.   They reckon my favourite woods must be a really good habitat for them.    I was nettled and had to scramble up a hillside to get these pics, but so worth it.  All I need now is a photo of one with wings outstretched20170505_185550.thumb.jpg.6316e3955eab9a7f0ac39052c754df19.jpg20170505_185106.thumb.jpg.aff3fc1b4a6efb1d9f2f352da8ff89d1.jpg

Fairburn Ings RSPB reserve near Leeds is good . Plenty of birds that are used to people, great for practising on.

Hi All

Not a picture unfortunately but a once in a lifetime experience. 

I was driving to work in Loughborough yesterday morning, down the A60. I was static in traffic when all of a sudden a very large Buzzard emerged from the undergrowth on the opposite side of the road with an equally large wriggling rat in it's talons. The Buzzard just avoided being hit by a car travelling towards me and in doing so dropped the rat. The rat scurried off into the undergrowth and the Buzzard flew off. Both, very lucky to escape with their lives. A great sight and so close up.

Baz. That'll be eagle owls that the rspb don't recognise as British breeding birds . They say that they're escaped captive birds or that have flown over from the Netherlands.  I'm a member of the rspb but they talk crap at times . Everyone else knows the truth.  Only ever seen them in captivity myself.  Bet it was amazing to see

A few from my Daily walk along the north east coast at Easington. A gorgeous day today, saw a redstart sadly too far away for my little camera. Also the Grasshopper warblers that are in residence annually here, were in full song today. What`s the butterflies names Suz? i know the peacock, but not the other one. :)

Clematis Ruben Montana? Nice garden Steve.

Clematis montana rubens maybe Peter, though hard to tell without seeing the foliage close to.  The Clematis montana will grow 100 ft. if allowed, and flowers on current years growth, the finest of the varieties is montana odorata, which along with being as prolific in flower has a scent.

I wasnt far out Dave. I always (nearly) remember then name as its one of the first climbing plants that me and my ex planted in the garden - grows really really quickly, you could get a fence well covered in almost one season. The other reason why I nearly remember the name is that my next door neighbours grandson is called Reuben.

Nice name Reuben, the first large chest tattoo I did was on a guy of that name in Hawaii, circa 1989, the classic Battle Royale, a fight between an eagle and serpent.
