Still haven't got out anywhere recently, the weather's been terrible.
However, over the last couple of weeks the pair of Ravens have become a regular sight in the area, breeding is starting to look like a real possibility! Unfortunately one of the pair seems to have a damaged wing, the bird can still fly ok but when it's landed the bad wing hangs down. The pair have been landing in local fields quite a lot, and seem to be collecting nesting material.
Here's a recent Raven shot, this is the one with the bad wing.
Today I saw the (or a) Peregrine flying distantly, it landed on a pylon, it could well have been around more often than I've noticed. Apparently a pair bred somewhere quite nearby last year on pylons, it would be amazing if a pair came and bred near the house!
The Buzzards are also still very active, although they seem to have come to an uneasy truce with the Ravens, perhaps they're used to them being here now.
Not too much else happening, there are only 4 or 5 Siskins left now from the original flock.
Yesterday there was an Oak Beauty moth on the wall of the house, making me even more desperate to start putting the moth trap out!
