Continuing my series of crap bird photos, here's a silhouette of something blurred flying away.

I think it's a peregrine.

I saw this handsome fellow on the golf course today and am struggling to figure out what he is:

That's a beaut.

Long eared owl, maybe?

I hear a woodpecker every day on my morning walk, but I just can't see the damn thing. If I do, I'll try and get a photo.

I've seen plenty of green woodpeckers in Wollaton Park and that pair of Egyptian Geese are still holding fort in the base of their hollow tree.

No swallows or cookoos yet.

Those who said merlin on my pic above, correct. Beautiful wee birds, seeing them hunt dragonflies is one of the most amazing flying displays you'll see.

This magnificent creature above is (according to the RSPB in a bit of a UKIP manner) - an illegal immigrant from the continent. The Eurasian Eagle Owl is a quite stunningly beautiful, but despite them re-expanding their range in Europe, and being capable of crossing the channel, the RSPB insist any in the UK are escaped pets/falconer's birds. Sadly because they can and do eat any uk prey up to and including buzzards the RSPB say they are a problem argue that there is not evidence of them being a UK species (despite fossil evidence) and may in future support a cull.

As you might guess Ralph I'm VERY jealous, as I count the Eagle Owl as one of my favourite creatures and would love to see one in the wild!!
