Oystercatchers

Photo of a flock of oystercatchers in Anglesey.

It’s taken me ages, but I got there eventually!

Pied wagtail fledglings spotted on my back lawn.

A photo from my only trip (thus far) across the Pond.

First swallow of the summer spotted above my garden.

In which I describe my favourite circular walk across the local moors.

I heard the year’s first lapwing on the moor above my house, as I stood by my compost heap in the dark last night.

The semi-tame local pheasant whom I have named Philip landed on top of my bird table this afternoon.

Darwin quizzes his cousin on nests.

Swallows are feeding their young. They’ll be off soon.

In which I clock a sparrowhawk.

…and how they are weather-dependent.
