What have you seen

Had a lot of these popping up over the last 3 weeks, but on a more serious note, if you look very carefully you can just see the seal bobbing about, lots of them at Godrevy, beautiful place, but must be manic July & August

I've got friends who have gravy with theirs, but beans....

Nice to spot seals around Godrevy. We saw lots up in Northumberland this year. 

and sweet corn, not gravy, overrides the oggie flavour

Foulshaw Moss today, good views of the ospreys. The 3 chicks are pretty well grown now and quite active in the nest.

Plenty of dragon and damselflies about, unable to identify most of them, they don’t keep still! Also saw a lot of tree sparrows, a bird we never get at home. 🙂

Dengie peninsula today, corn buntings, grey wagtails, a cuckoo and a buzzard picking up a baby rabbit right in front of us. I know they're all part of the food chain but sometimes it's nature in the raw. Lots of holly blues around too, hot weather encouraging them out.

Had a good walk this morning before weather changes again and saw 2 Golden Orioles but heard at least 4 more singing and a Hoopoe flew over and landed in a oak tree right next to me lovely to see so close, also heard 2 sets of calls from Turtle Doves so looks like we have got at least 4 or more now, Nightingale still singing and the Cuckoo, plenty of butterflies about, now the wind has picked up and very cloudy but muggy.

Sitting here in the kitchen doodling away on the computer, looked up out of the window onto the raised embankment behind the cottage and 3 Hares dashed across the width of the window, one after the other.

This in addition to the Green Woodpecker feeding on the newly mown lawns this morning whilst the Red Kite glided over about head height to us.

If anyone is interested and presently at Baltic Wharf.

The Avon gorge peregrine juveniles (3) are honing their skills along the Portway (A4) just past the suspension bridge where the sloping slabs are painted upon. Mid to late afternoon seems to be a favoured time.

Also a family of Kestrels are active near the Observatory near the bridge.

We had a adult Peregrine fly over our car as we were parked in Leclerc in Villefrance and very low just did not have chance for photo, also plenty of red kites about they seemed to like that area possibly as it is quite hilly.

OH has cut the field and the birds are enjoying it looking for insects, song thrushes, wood larks, kestrel, starlings with young ones and even the local domestic doves from a neighbours house.

+1, gravy makes it into an ordinary pie👍🏻. Beans & sweetcorn compliment it👏🏻👏🏻
