Not a very good picture of the Sparrowhawk, but it was raining, drizzling or something. It is looking for something to help cure the pain in its stomach. Probably a bird, as its great desire.
On David Slater's website (http://www.djsphotography.co.uk/) is the most beautiful things you have ever seen. It's the Wild Boar. The story behind this, well, he tells it better than me. http://www.djsphotography.co.uk/British%20Mammals/Wild%20Boar.htm
Really nice one.

The Common Tern is a fantastic bird, coming about April and leaving in October. I filmed it about June of last year. The one was wearing a ring on its left leg, but I was too far away to get that in the photograph. It comes to our lake every year, so I’ll keep my eyes open.

This poor Mute Swan was being attacked by the other two who felt that the lake (Lydney), was only any good for them. The cob is so aggressive, that he’s capable to hold onto the neck and it sometimes kills the other. It looks rather nasty, and it is.

On the Herefordshire border is an angling hangout, and there was plenty of birdlife as well. But it was too wet to take any pictures, except this, a bright spell, I managed to take this one, it’s a sculpture of Cormorants, made in metal.
