Your Wildlife Sightings!

I had just finished the lovely job of cutting a section of my lawn( 40 percent of it is wild flowers and grass) when i heard the loud engine of a Eurofighter Typhoon which got me something else in the sky, only an * female Hobby flying quite low overhead!!! I rushed to get my binocs but she had gone!! The 2nd Hobby I have seen this year and that was an * male over my garden as well this time while I was bring in the recycling bins and also I ran to by binocs but she had gone

Whenever I scan for Hobbies with my binocs at hand in my garden, not a hint of Hobby!!!

Anyway I am back in my favourite valley in Snowdonia on Thursday for a bird of prey outing. I hope to get 6 to 7 species of them and also other cool wildlife with a trip into that fine village butchers when I head home.

 

Thanks Bhoys, glad you like them .
I went out on another sea safari this morning seeing as the fine weather is here for a while, i was hoping to get a few shots of the Dolphins in the bay but they were very few and far between, i asked the skipper why they were so scarce and he said a big Orca had been spotted in the vicinity and the Dolphins had fecked off out to sea, there was a few seabirds there to be photographed but the pitching of the boat made it quite difficult to get decent shots, things were getting really quiet when the Skipper pointed out a whale blowing and took us to get a better look and sure enough it was a Humpback, it surfaced a couple of times before raising its huge tail and disappearing, we also got to see a couple of Fin whales as they passed along the side of the boat, it was a bit disappointing not seeing the Dolphin pods but the sightings of the huge Whales more than made up for it, i'll post a few pics when i get them sorted

 

Seen this Stunning Sparrowhawk sitting right outside my living room window. Caroline and I managed to get a few pictures

 

Here's another pic. I'm still buzzing about having such a stunning bird sitting in my garden

 

This is it flying away when someone passed by
