Red Admiral

A Red admiral in the garden on the 6th of November was the 23rd consecutive month in which i have see a butterfly species.This is a certain sign that its getting warmer.

Sparrowhawk kills Feral pigeon

Female sparwk took Feral pigeon off next doors roof and tumbled into field right outside the house.great stuff.i am sure the increase in sprkws is due to the increase in Collared doves and feral pigeons.?
