Another bird of prey seen this evening. I've photographed this bird many times in the past but oddly, I've never come across on stationary in a tree before today. Got a crow in shot as bonus content.

Just flew over my head, I thought 'pigeon' but to my surprise it was a Sparrowhawk. Had a second to react and got my first ever photo of one

We spotted our first northern flickers (𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴) on our hike yesterday! A pair of them. I heard them before I saw them-- their call is quite distinctive. They were too quick for me to get any pictures, but at least my teen got this shot of the backside of one:

It's lovely when the Starlings fledge, love seeing them in the garden again. (1st fledgeling in our garden since we moved here)
