01/07/2019 Seen on the neighbour's barn across the road, but I only managed one shot before it was gone. Little owl (Athene noctua).
02/07/2019 Seen on our barn which is opposite our house on the other side of the road and I was at the bottom of our garden where I was watering. Again quite far, but it waited for me to go and get the camera 😉
I managed to get a little closer, but there was only one place where I could see it between the trees.
As above where it turned to watch me more carefully!!
Common blackbird (Turdus merula) male, I actually missed it bathing, but caught it trying to spruce himself up for his Mrs.
Think he might have had something to say at the end of it all, but I have not learnt to speak blackbird! He never did sort out the erratic hairstyle, perhaps it is the new fashion !
Joining up with
and
Two beauties for different reasons.
