I miss the song of thrush's and blackbirds.. and the English robin sitting on the fence.

My sister and her husband are hard core twitchers - they travel all over the place (in Ontario now, but years ago in S. Africa) to view a lesser spotted whatever. I remember gazing in awe in Hong Kong at a hoopoe and my brother in law (who was visiting) saying "oh those - see them everywhere" lol.

I like the cardinals, goldfinches, tree creepers and doves - not so much the damn hawk who nested in one of the trees in the back garden this winter and decimated several doves and sparrows. Grackles are a pain in the bum but amusing to watch, as are American robins.

On my other computer I've a lovely picture of a dove in the nest from a couple of years ago and several shots of baby robins - I'll have to dig them out.

Here you go, our owl chicks that have recently started exploring. Pretty rubbish photos but taken on my phone. They're in one of our owl boxes (the other box has just had Sparrowhawks nesting/hatching - think they didn't read the sign on the box!).

What owlets are they? I wouldn't begrudge sparrowhawks, they are amazing birds too

Trouble is, mum has been chased off by a larger female interloper and left dad holding the babies...

See a lot of seagulls, blue herons, cormorants and eagles. I get on better with them than the naffing seals, sea lions and orcas.

That looks good, the great thing with the Norwich one is the live streaming with sound. It overlooks the school that the pups went to before they came over. Interesting to see the life of the school from the cathedral spire.

Some bird fancier/ racing pigeon breeder I see in the comments is moaning about his poor little birdies getting picked off by the peregrines.....bless

They were probably at Presqu'ile today with all the other twitchers.
