August

More catching up from the Summer. These are mainly for the benefit of people who missed them and may not look at Facebook or Google much. So some of you may have seen these before.

A jackdaw that really wasn't anything like this close but he did sit still for longer than usual.

This fellow was also probably looking for the buzzard.

A Woodpecker was a regular visitor to the paddock this year

Mattis eemed to think it was cold despite the sun in August!

Not posing for anyone

I swear this fellow has a sixth or seventh sense that detects me lifting a camera. This was just a lucky chance when I already had it ready when he landed.

Ghost

I was just taking a quick snap of this jackdaw, who'd been showing off his ability to stand on one leg and stare at me, when there was a strange wooooo-ooo noise from across the road. Now, normally I would have associated that kind of noise with either an owl or one of Stationmaster Steve's latest steam engines blasting its way around his plum tree. It was neither. A large ghost had appeared in his garden.
