Male Pied Flycatchers are singing their territorial songs, defending their chosen nesting box, and hoping to attract a female.
In between they are getting a taste for British food: thehallofeinar.com/2024/05/the-pi…

My favourite Pied Flycatcher has been successful in defending his chosen nest box and attracting a female.

His partner is busy building a fabulous grass nest.

The Northern Wheatear’s scientific name is Oenanthe oenanthe. It means ‘Flower of the Vine’.

I love a bit of dancing. So do Great Crested Grebes on Chard Reservoir.

An evening walk in Somerset led us to a woodland we’d never visited before. The scent of Bear's Garlic and the calling of Jackdaws. The play of low light on swirling flowers. The intermittent alarm call of the Great Spotted Woodpecker. Wellington boots and slippery tracks.

Bravo, David.

We had a wonderful time on a guided wildlife cruise out of Brixham with Mike Langman and David Saunders on Tuesday.

Beautiful weather, plenty of wildlife action, insightful commentary, and a decent cup of tea. Perfect

David @ The HALL of EINAR They are a highly adaptable, robust bird. 🐦 Unfortunately, their ability to survive in large cities makes them victims of the pitfalls of pollution, poisoning, and an unfair image. Also, let's not forget how important they were during WW1.

David @ The HALL of EINAR Fantastic, dramatic photo!! We have quite a few cuckoos in the Caribbean. Here’s one species, the Chestnut Bellied (endemic to Jamaica).

I love a close encounter with a Common Buzzard: thehallofeinar.com/2024/05/fixed-…

The quality in this photo is amazing. You can even see that it seems to have something wrapped round its beak!!😳
