Steve, yes mate. Seen around 30 ducklings, kingfishers, buzzards, kestrels, owls, herons, rats, 100's of crows and alsorts these past months. 👍

Sunrays, a new duck family and a few midges tonight

A couple from a couple of weeks back. Honeybee, cropped to show a bit of detail and a horse in need of a good haircut and shave 🙂

A couple from Friday evening along the river where the crows have made their home in the trees and have a bit of a feed at the small farm. A few hundred of them, or a mob, a horde or even a murder of crows, after all the chicks have now fledged but they are here every evening making a right old racket.

A couple from the garden on Friday afternoon as the sun hides behind the clouds saying goodbye to summer 🌞

Thats tonight sorted 🍻🕺

Got caught out in tonights surprise storm on our walk. Started of a lovely sunny evening for the first hour, tgen bang, everything thrown at us. Took refuge in an old barn for half an hour

This just flew in the house a small magpie moth, put back outside 👍

Looking at my moth and butterfly book it looks like a Silver Y moth. Note the "silver y" on the wing 😉 https://butterfly-conservation.org/moths/silver-y

A few from tonights river walk with Bury Soul Source request hour (and a few midges) accompanying me 👍

Fantastic trees, birds and superb sunset 👍

Three from tonights river walk. The big duck family are still going strong while there's some new kids on the block as the fair weather walkers stay away 👍😁

A bit of a rainbow in the farmers water spreader this evening 😯

Fascinating read about wasps. They are good for the garden but a nuisance to us. https://www.countryfile.com/wildlife/insects-invertebrates/british-wasp-guide-how-to-identify-common-species-lifecycle-and-why-wasps-sting-in-autumn/

Fantastic photo. I've just been watching the ISS live image's on the app and that's amazing to see but I've just zoomed in on your photo and I'm sure the clangers are having a party, it's that clear 😁👍 great shot

Sorry to hear of your loss. RIP Pete

I did see a family, a couple of years back, playing in the neighbours garden as they made home under the shed. We used to wait till the security lights went on to see if we could see them. I managed this short video one evening as the whole family showed up. I was a bit pleased 😁 not a great video but brilliant to watch when it was happening

Thanks 👍 I think the zoom is about 30x optical which is good for this type of video. We get them quite often going through the garden but not managed a decent photo yet.

That was about 10pm just before darkness came along👍 I have an app on my phone, ISS Live Now, and it tells you when it comes over. You can follow it all day if so desired. Its next due here around 4.30pm and then every 90 minutes or so so hopefully see it again later 👍

Sad to hear this news. Rest well "Skippy Sue"

Crap photos but watched the ISS go over again. Hopefully see the space shuttle on saturday. Oh and a visitor ftom the night just flew in 👍

Thanks mate and thanks for the choons and write ups 🌞👍

Thank you. Pot luck again with the timing 👍

I've put together a short video of the fox if that's OK

Saw another fox today, not the cubs from the other week, I think they might of moved on as I haven't seen them near the den site for the last few days. This was in another part of the wood as it was getting mobbed in a field. I think it saw me as I was hiding behind a tree but seemed more concerned with the birds. Photo's are not the greatest as I tried to keep still and quiet
