Your Wildlife Sightings!

Here's another one I made...I got so much footage out there..I wish I'd got more of the surrounding area.

 

Absolutely brilliant mate. Jealous as *.

 

One of the local Peregrines was patrolling over my local patch late this morning.

 

It was all about the Crow family this morning on my local patch,a number of Jays,3 highly vocal Ravens and 2 vocal Choughs,i am sure they were all talking about our Great Crow closing in on the magic 100,000

 

I love crows they're so clever

 

Nearly as clever as our Great Crow here

 

Indeed he's notoriously clever

 

Threw dog food out for the fox, that I've not seen in ages, and 2 cubs came out and took it. Two more mouths to feed.

 

You have a fantastic heart good pal

 

Love the foxes Cidermaster. Get a bad rep due to lying scum in the media. We need to do more to try and protect them.

 

Well said,we should be proud of our only Wild Canine,they are cool Animals

 

My daughter and I watched a Crow take a piece of hard bread to a loch, dip it in the water a couple of times to soften it up before eating it. Smart as *, and cool as * looking birds.

 

A cool flock of 40 Redpoll flew over my local patch late this morning.

 

Late this morning on my local patch 7 Crossbill flew around over me calling 'Jip Jip Jip Jip',also a Peregrine had a spat with a Herring Gull in the air.

 

Watched a great fight between 2 Magpies and a Carrion Crow this morning. Lasted about 10 mins. The Crow had the upper hand before the Magpies flew off.

 

Last week at work I saw a Red Squirrel , it bolted across the ground and quickly climbed a wall . It sat on the wall and kept watching me . It had to turn 180 degrees to see me walk away from it . I found a stunned Bat lying on the mono blocked ground in town . I picked it up with litter pickers , as I heard someone nearby died from a Bat's bite fairly recently , and placed it in the closest garden . Today on my morning walk , I saw a Buzzard , various Ducks and a very vocal Heron . They were all beside my local river . I also saw many holes in the far bank that I assume are Sand Martin nests .

 

Yesterday on my local patch in the morning,5 Redwing flew overhead,my first of the Autumn and also 2 Crossbill flew over and a Kestrel was noted.
This morning on my local Beach with the brains of the outfit Ruby Boxer a Vole ran past us and into some seaweed.2 Grey Seals,one a big Bull another a female were closeby in the sea.
Also last night 2 Tawny Owls were busy calling on the lane near my house.

 

A female Kestrel was busy hunting on my local patch this morning showing really well.Also loads of Jays busy collecting Acorns.

 

My daughter and I watched a Kestrel hunt for about an hour one day a few years ago. We followed it all over the area we stay in. It was hard to keep up, but we managed it. It was due to that Kestrel that we became serious bird-watchers. The Kestrel still hold a special place in our hearts.

 

Yes it was the Kestrel that really gave me the Birding Bug as well good pal,i studied a pair near my old home for 2 straight Summer Holidays when i was 10 and 11 years old.I was fascinated by them,so proud that they are in the Falcon family.I followed them hunting,saw them catch prey in the open and take prey to the nest and feed the young.Brilliant days they were
