Still didn't manage to get out anywhere today, but the birds over the house and garden were enough to keep me occupied!
Firstly, today there were 3 Ravens over the house at one point! However, there were 2 around the area for most of the day, flying back and forth over the house and garden, one of them was carrying some large sticks in it's beak at one point. I may be being a bit optimistic, but it would be amazing if they decided to breed nearby.
Here's the (hopefully) nest building Raven
The local Buzzards don't seem quite as pleased as I am with these new visitors, and the 2 species were involved in some spectacular aerial battles in the morning.
Here's a couple of shots of the 2 birds together, seeing the Raven next to a Buzzard let me appreciate just how huge they are!
Other than these birds, the Sparrowhawks were quite active.
Also saw a Heron flying over, as well as some very large flocks of Black-headed Gulls. Today there was still a small group of Redwings around, and a pair of Mistle Thrushes.
