Red Kite (Gloucestershire)

This is my favourite of all birds of prey. They are awesome! They have strengthened their position in the range of distance and breeding places. Let's hope that our children can see them.

Peregrine Falcon (ICBP)


I spent all day at the international centre for the birds of prey, which is a wonderful place to visit. The centre is run by Jemima Parry - Jones and all those who help her in that serious job. Go and have a look, its really nice.

Juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker (Cannop Ponds)

It was a mournful day, even a slight wetness in the air. Well, its nice to be young, like our Great Spotted Woodpecker. Oh, I didn't wish you all, a happy solstice, the longest day of the year - for those who live in this hemisphere.

Ringlet (The Marshes, Lydney)


One of my favourites of butterfies. They fly quite a lot, but, when it goes darker, they land. But also, unlike other butterflies, it shows itself in its true colours.
