Sparrowhawk

Always feels like a missed opportunity when the Sparrowhawk arrives and I fail to get any decent shots. He's literally in the garden for a just few seconds at a time.

Still, he's a handsome devil!

Nest Cam is Ready!

We are plugged in and ready to go...

A colour test (bamboo cane + straws!):


First visitor!

Just need to get rid of the 'Charlie & Lola' tag.

Now I can spend the next six months complaining to Birdman about the colour quality. Excellent!

A Blog!

I've been locked in decorating hell for the past month *sigh* so haven't had much time to watch the garden. Need to get blogging again though - I know, I said that a month ago but I mean it this time! As the colder weather has now arrived I'm hoping the garden will start to get busy soon.

I noticed lots of activity around the bird box today - three Blue Tits - so we'll get the camera hooked up this weekend in case we have a rooster in there. I'm hoping to set it up so we can send one image a minute (or whatever) to the blog. Won't catch much this time of year, obviously, but would be more interesting in the spring.

Looks like our hedgehog has bedded down for the winter - no activity around the entrance of Hog Manor for a couple of nights now.


A few images on a very dull day (this morning):
