Wow just had a Red Kite fly over, being harassed by 2 crows! #Hayfield #derbyshirebirds Derbyshire Ornithological Society (DOS) Derbyshire Bird Tours

While getting excited about eagles, harriers & otters, sometimes the perfect ending to the day is the simple song of a Chaffinch.

What a fabulous group we’ve had on Mull this week.
Now a glass of wine & a toast to the amazing wildlife that calls this wonderful island home.
It’s our last night, so it ends in style with a sunset on the shore of Loch Spelve with a serenading Cuckoo.

Then another Diver comes by.
Quite a good evening.

Bliss.

Just thought we’d pop out and watch the sun go down.
Then we had a visitor.
