Bit of a belated bird of the day because i saw them on Sunday. There was a couple of fields full of lapwings - just before Lewes - didn't get a very good look because i was on the trainbut good to see them all the same |

Bird of the day for me today was a Woodlark in Wareham Forest, it's the first one I've seen. 
However, a pair of Crossbills were also very nice to see!

The rookery I walked past today - they were all busy building and repairing their nests. Though I think they could have chosen a more aesthetically pleasing place to raise their families than above the local wc's !!! |

Something I've never seen before yesterday - in the fog - two wrens. Don't see wrens that often but have never seen two - since they weren't squabbling I imagine that they have paired up. |

Mine today was the first blackcap I have ever seen in my garden. Cheered up an otherwise dismal day attempting to tidy the garage  It appeared and disappeared for most of the day so I'm hoping it plans to stay a while. |

Nothing dodgy about that shot.
What a nice surprise - dyou get many Shrikes in the New Forest Deer Stalker?

I would like a moment of silence for Mr and Mrs Dove.
Last Tuesday, we discovered two piles of collared Dove feathers and some spots of blood in the garden within a few hours of each other. The doves - who visit the bird table at the same time every day - have not returned since then. I suspect Mr Sparrow Hawk was the culprit, because I inspected the feathers and they had been cleanly plucked out rather than ripped out courtesy of a cat or fox.
It's a shame, but at least they ended up as a much needed meal for another creature  .
