I'm away in Switzerland for the next 15 days, hopefully I'll see some new species.

One from before...

Here's an image I took in my last session filming the Sparrowhawks. 

Holywell posting will resume shortly :)

A little something

I've been filming these Sparrowhawks for a past few days now, they have at least 2 very small chicks, a couple of days old at the most when I filmed this.


The female leaves the nest for about a minute, you can hear both birds calling as a food pass occurs in the background, the best shots are when the female returns.
