Your Wildlife Sightings!

Great photos Jeannie. That's a Tree Pipit Jeannie

 

A stunning Buzzard Jeannie

 

So many Pitpits Rock Pitpits, Meadow Pitpits and now a Tree Pitpit

 

I love buzzards and bird's of prey Jeannie well caught great pictures and it goes without saying I love the crow picture

 

The crows are really funny here. We have masses in the trees around the corner but it the odd ones who stand out. When we're driving round you see at least half a dozen on the trip sitting solitary on a rock facing the sea like they're contemplating life or something.

 

Is this Lunan Bay?

I was up there last year..

 

Nah mate, thats at Carnoustie, a part of beach you can only access at low tide, near the Barry Buddon military ranges.

Lunan Bay is epic. Apparently rammed at the weekend there, car park full and wee road down choca.

 

Our eldest girl always carries bee rescue liquid with her. She's a bit of an Emergency Breakdown Service for bees. She helped out this wee fella yesterday during her walk in the park.

 

Beautiful picture Marty, very serene and peaceful look, keep them coming.

Great pic Sean, great reflection there.

 

Great pictures there Jeannie, love the Pipit and the Hawk

 

Nice picture Red, is that a black and white Bee? I've never seen that one before.

 

I had a walk around Easky/ Rathlee today, it was a beautiful morning in the warm sun and the birds were out in force feeding on the insects that were also out in force, best mornings walk I've had in a while, we were on Gleneasky Bog bagging turf for the winter all weekend so a quiet stroll around a country lane was all the more welcome.

 

Johnboy or Pete, what's the bird with the cool hair do in the third pic?

 

thank you

 

Where do you see all these cool birds man?

All I get is pigeons and crows screaming at my window hours before my alarms due to go off

 

Went for a walk in the forest near home yesterday in south Derry but saw very little bird life. The forest workers are doing a lot of clearing at the moment. I did hear a couple of stonechats and a cuckoo. There were a few robins but they were very shy. I had brought supplies just in case but they didn't show much interest, seemed quite timid...unlike their more brash, pushy and arrogant cousins from Tyrone. There was also a wee bird's nest by the path, either blown down/out or abandoned.

 

Mr and Mrs were about today again.

 

Very common but still one of my favourites.

 

The latest generation to visit.

 

A magpie chased a young hooded crow from the garden yesterday but a couple of minutes later the young crow returned with one of his parents. The magpie couldn't get away quickly enough. The parent stayed in the garden keeping a watchful eye while the youngster explored.
