I have two regular visitors to the Garden, top one is the female and the bottom one is the male.
Quality isn't great as its taken through two double glazed windows.

We've got two pairs come to visit our Peanut feeders on a daily basis. One pair definately had a youngster this year, we had the pleasure of watching them feeding it.

Had one of the Red Kites landed briefly on the lawn the other week, I'd hoped he'd got the pesky mole but alas it appears not! The Kites and the the Buzzards are truely magnificent to watch when they glide gracefully over the garden.

When I was stationed in Germany we had woodpeckers in the woods at the back of our accommodation block. I was surprised how loud they are not having seen or heard them before.

Thats terrible, no wonder a lot of birds have seriously decreased in numbers over the years.

We have a permanent family of them and saw a youngster being fed by one of the parents. Lovely to watch. We also have 4 red squirrels and lots of other furry and feathered friends. a few years ago a red squirrel fell in our open window and hubby was amazed at itā€™s weight when he picked it up. We used to have a family of stoats play on the lawn regularly and I sent photos to David Attenborough as he did his programme ā€œStoats in the prioryā€. I got a lovely hand written thank you letter from him which I still have and he also returned my photos (pre digital age). He said it was unusual to capture a whole family at one time.
