While we were away the weather was not very good and bird sightings were few. We heard and briefly saw a hoopoe, and also heard an owl that I was reliably told was a Scops Owl. The only Robin I saw posed perfectly for me the one time I did not have a camera in hand! I did get plenty of insect photos though!!
I would like to add a link to a friends blog who has just been to Wales and he has taken the most remarkable shots of Red kites (Milvus milvu) and he has added a great write up as well.
This was the most interesting bird that I managed to photograph -
Long-tailed tit or long-tailed bushtit (Aegithalos caudatus).
As above...

We had to visit Souillac Station and this Common blackbird (Turdus merula) appeared just next to the car, photo taken through the window!
While having lunch at a restaurant in Belvès this male House Sparrows (Passer domesticus) watched on hoping for crumbs I guess,
Back home yesterday we had a visit from a male Common chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs).
As above.
I will endeavour to get some bird photos for next weeks blog but the garden is so overgrown after 10 days away, with lots of rain, that there is little time to play!!!
