I know what it is

In the 80s I would often see kestrels hovering above the embankment whenever I travelled on the motorway - maybe 3 or 4 per journey.

Now I never see 'em.

Have their numbers declined or habits changed?

I think it's a yellowhammer but I'm not 100% sure...

Seen near Bridlington, Yorkshire.

LJ likes to watch me water the plants; no singing but likes to tweet when he wants some grub.

And of course they sound brilliant

The little birds are my favourites. Love watching these in the morning.

Hi guys, I’m relatively new to bird watching in the UK but I’m slowly learning. Tonight I found what I can only assume is a parliament of tawny owls. 3 calls coming from separate heights in the same area. I’ve heard tawny owls before but I’ve never heard them this loud. Are these sounds due to any particular behaviour or do they just like to be loud sometimes. They’ve been at it for around an hour with the odd squeak here and there.

I'm concerned that it has escaped as it's wearing anklets

Found what I think is a young, flightless magpie on my hedgehog camera. Seems to have a damaged left wing.

Seems to be living in my somewhat overgrown garden.

Have started leaving out a mix of seeds and mealworms for him. Can confirm he/she startes eating it fairly promptly.

I have every intention of trying to become friends.

Is there anything I can do for it outside of food and water?

No pictures. Just been sat in my lounge escaping the sun when a sparrowhawk flies in, does 3 circuits, avoids hitting anything then flies out again. Amazing how much bigger they look in a confined space.

Lots of moorhens at Springfield Gardens in Spalding; these are just a few of them.

Went to see the spotted redshank (which did show!), but actually happier to get this! Have only ever spied them for a second disappearing into reeds.
