Fairly quiet most days at the moment. All 5 Goosander young are flying up and down the river as are the 3 Kingfishers. Seen this week 9 juv Blackcaps and a flock of 10 juv Bullfinch. At 0645 this morning approx 500 House Martins drifting S/E and at 0830 a further flock of 150 also drifting S/E. Posting 4 photos of garden visitors in the last 14 days.

Cracking juv Sparrowhawk pics Mike, have they bred nearby ?
Hi Nick. they breed every year about half a mile away from my home
Outside my house (Sowerby Bridge) on Saturday a juv sparrowhawk took a jackdaw the same size as itself.
They then battled in the road for 20 minutes watched by all the neighbours and 20 yelling jackdaws.
A very fair fight, both eventually escaped unharmed. They were on my doorstep at one point.
Tell the gamekeepers, raptors will take Crows!
Great shots Mike
Superb photos . Very envious . Never seem to get close to sparrowhawks
