Excited this morn to finally get a photograph of the calling Cuckoo. It was very distant but for once out in the open. Unlike the Cuckoo the Sedge Warblers pose perfectly for photos! Also Reed Warblers, Yellowhammers, Lapwings, Ravens & Sparrowhawk being dive bombed by Swallows!

Highlight on today's walk hearing a Green Woodpecker (no pic yet!) Also calling Cuckoo, Barn Owl, Reed & Sedge Warblers, Cetti's, Yellowhammers, Skylarks, Lapwings, Kestrels, Ravens, a rare sighting of a Swift in Marbury, House Martins, LBBGulls, Yellowhammers, Herons everywhere.

I can now officially introduce Chips and Gravy's fledglings Sausage and Mash! They both came down today for food. When I called Chips and Gravy all 4 came, with one of the juveniles doing acrobatics again! It makes me really emotional, I feel so very very blessed.

Highlights from todays walk: a beautifully marked Red Kite, juvenile GCGrebe being feed a fish by dad while on mum's back, 2 Swifts, HMartins, Swallows, Grey Wagtail, Cuckoo, Sedge & Reed Warblers, lot of Long-tailed Tit fledglings, Lapwings, Whitethroat, Reed Buntings, Kestrel

Breaking news, excitingly, we have 3 Raven Fledglings so we are going to need another name! The Photos are of Gravy with the 3 fledglings, Chips was with me eating suet!! Also, interestingly the picture of the birds beak to beak is 2 of the juveniles not of the adult feeding.

So Beans it is. Here they are Sausage, Mash and Beans. Hopefully I will get some better pics of them soon!

Bit of a wet walk at times today but lots of wonderful birds. Highlights: all the Raven family present and correct, GCGrebe with the 1 fledgling, friendly Chaffinch, Kestrel, Reed & Sedge Warblers, Yellowhammers, Lapwings, RBuntings, Skylarks, Cetti's, Whitethroat, Blackcaps

Highlights from today's walk: Ravens (only saw one of the youngsters today), Kestrels, Sedge, Reed & Cetti's Warblers, Lapwings, Skylarks, Kingfisher, Whitethroat, Blackcap, Chiffchaffs, singing Goldcrests, Mistle Thrush, Swallows, House Martins, Swifts, LBBGulls, GCGrebes

Still quiet for birds around Marbury & I didn't see any of my Ravens this morning. I hate it when I don't see them but I am sure they are fine and have just found some nice carrion! The highlight today was 2 Red Kites. Also Linnets, Yellowhammers, Lapwings, Sedge & Reed Warblers

Shorter walk today but the highlight was all 5 ravens being present & correct which was a relief after not seeing them yesterday. Also Spotted Flycatcher was 110 species for the year only fleeting views. Also Yellowhammers, Lapwings, Reed Buntings, Goldcrests, GCGrebes. Kestrel

Had a very exciting Moth to the traps this morning, a Lobster Moth. It was only the 4th record for Cheshire. It was a shock to see it! #teammoth

Just looking at my photos and noticed this little Jackdaw looking in awe at Chips the Raven. I wonder what it is thinking!

Highlights from today's walk: all 5 Ravens, better views of the Spotted Flycatcher, Red Kite, Barn Owl, Kestrel, Buzzards, Yellowhammers, Cetti's. Reed & Sedge Warblers, Chiffchaffs, RBuntings, Goldcrests, Treecreeper, Blackcaps, Whitethroat. GSWoodpecker, Grey Wagtail, GCGrebes

We are really lucky in Marbury to have lots of Mistle Thrushes all over patch. I have never had one quite as posy as this one sat on a bench in the Churchyard though. Just look how stunning it is close up!

Lovely walk today highlight was seeing a Stonechat family. Also Sedge, Reed & Cetti's Warblers, Yellowhammers, Whitethroats, Reed Buntings, Grey Wagtails, Kingfisher, Lapwings, Kestrels, Buzzards, GSWoodpecker, LBBGulls over and the Raven fledglings are becoming very demanding

All 5 of the Ravens were there today, although I only ever managed 4 in a photo! The photo doesn't really do it justice but it is such am amazing sight when I call Chips and Gravy and all 5 fly in. I can't describe in words how it makes me feel!

It was a wonderful walk this morning as well as the young Ravens, it was really exciting to see my first ever Lapwing chicks on patch. They looks so small, hope they manage to survive. Also a family of Stonechats, and Chiffchaffs. Other highlights Yellowhammers, Tufties, Kestrels

I have yet another new camera. My Nikon p950 broke and I was given my money back so I upgraded to a Nikon P1100 😅These are the first photos from it. All the birds were distant other than the Robin. I am very pleased with it. Just need to practice and read the instruction book!😉
