Lunchtime!
Mum and Dad very busy feeding their 2 young at the moment. Although the oldest really ought to be doing it himself but he seems a bit dim (or knows when he’s onto a good thing). This is the younger of the two. (Rather heavily cropped and shot through windows so not a brilliant photo).
Separately, out for a walk this morning which confirmed my impression that the skylark population has a noticeable increase in numbers around here this year which is good news.
Tangential this but I’ve just looked at the weather forecast and for the first time I can remember it’s forecast to be dry all week here (Cambridgeshire) !!
Not just nice for us but hopefully the Juvees and their food supply too.
Details of a project to find 126 ‘lost’ species of birds
In the heat of the day
No sounds. A Cedar Waxing is panting heavily.
Brindle
A departing Green Heron. We have severe flooding expanding the river drastically including the fishing grounds of the water birds.
Fab photo
Thanks. The guy was unexpectedly on the trail which was covered by a few inches of river water filled with tiny swimming fish. Here he is trying to gage if I am too close for comfort:
Taken last year. A point for the type of bird. Two bonus points for the location… 
Sorry about the quality. Lens too short !
Black Vulture, widespread thru southern USA, Central America and northern South America
One point Mike.
You need to say which country for the bonus points…
Perm any 1 from 18, not good odds.
Costa Rica.
I have to buy myself a proper birding lens. My 75-300 is waaaay too short. These guys for instance just wouldn’t come closer to me !
Ireland in April.
Biggest crop I dare…
