Cream-spot Tiger Moth

Linnet

Common Blue and a male Emperor Dragon.

Red Kites

The silage harvesting provides the Kites with plenty of easy chopped up meals and this particular field often had 15 together.

Pied Flycatchers

The male was trying to entice a female to his potential nest hole.

Buzzard

Ospreys, Rutland

Hare

A very close encounter. They certainly aren't the sharpest of animals.

Four-spotted Chasers, RW

Broad-bodied Chasers, RW

A group of 10 were resting on Brambles in the evening.

Hobbies, RW

Two birds suddenly came together and talon locked but neither had food.

Displaying Gadwall, RW

Crow carrying Jackdaw chick, RW

This Carrion Crow emptied a nest of newly hatched Jackdaw chicks.

Grey Wagtail

Very little time recently to sort out any photos or sketches due to Osprey work but things are settling down now so hopefully a few will follow.

Water Rails, RW

The rails brought 4 chicks out but a pair of over aggressive Moorhens soon put an end to the show, forcing the adults to take their chicks elsewhere.

Hares

Odd looking animals really.
