    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    Yesterday a red kite made an appearance which alarmed my pigeons and then a peregrine chased them even higher, before eventually taking one. In the afternoon a robin came into the conservatory and had to be let out through the door, which reminded me that Angela Merckle was reported on TV to...

    spring has sprung? A Buzzard cruising around at 200ft but no Red Kites in the air today, and no Hedge Sparrow which has taken to hopping around my feet, nor the Pied Wagtail which has often appeared during the winter. Amongst the bare branches of a beech tree to the North over a couple of...
