Your Wildlife Sightings!

Great Photos Johnie especially the flock of flying Black Tailed Godwits

 

2 Cormorants chilling out on my local patch the other day.

 

Stunning pics Johnie, especially the Gulls. I love Gulls

 

This morning i was delighted to confirm 2 singing Redstarts in my local Woodland, this really is fantastic for my local patch, i really hope 1 or 2 females pair up with them, it is ideal habitat. Also this morning in my local patch a new pair of Stonechat discovered, so 2 pairs here

And also 1 cool Hawfinch heard and seen flying into the Old Wood and with stunning weather coming next week i look set finally to get up the Mountains with Ruby Roo and also on another day get onto the Moors and Forest with a good mate.

 

Thanks Bhoys .

 

A few more from the Balisodare.

 

A few from Colgagh yesterday morning, it was very quiet only for a pair of Little Grebe who, to my surprise, were nesting about 15 feet from where i was perched.

 

The last from Balisodare, a couple of Black headed Gulls for you John .

 

Fantastic pictures Johnie

 

Thanks Sioux

 

A full morning on my local patch with Ruby Roo was very enjoyable, the sun came out but lovely cool conditions but bright enough for my first Brimstone Butterfly of the year, a big Bright bright yellow butterfly, my Good friend will love that
Also the 2 local Redstarts were busy singing, got great views of one, also one of the local Stonechat pairs showed well. The highlight though was one of the 2 local pairs of Ravens who were proudly showing their 2 fully grown the local ropes.
Several Tree Pipit also seen passing through and also to please my good friend i saw my first Holly Blue Butterfies of the year as well as a handsome Orange Tip Also back to the birds, my first Whitethroats of the year and first Sedge Warbler.

 

Thank you Johnie. My favourite Gull. Great pics as well Johnie

 

Sedge Warblers are stunning little birds good friend. Very handsome bird and it';s got a great call.

 

I thank you Johnie for these close ups of the Little Grebe. I didn't know the small bright patch on the side if their faces were a light green colour. Always assumed it was white. Great close ups.

 

No bother john , here's another couple from yesterday at Colgagh.

 

This morning on my local patch i was delighted to see an ever so handsome Male Whinchat pass through on migration, first one on my local patch for many a year

Also the local Fox Family were showing very well, 2 adults and 6 cubs, all happy, safe and relaxed.

 

Thanks JOhnie. Superb pics, as usual.

 

No bother John, cheers

 

Seen my first Swallows and Housemartins of the year this morning. Summer's nearly here

 

2 singing Redstarts still in my local Woods, at least one female present, i am very hopefully of seeing a lovely wee family of these delightful birds in the summer
