It was a long time ago that I was young too, but I lived even further south then and they had already been gone a few years there.

Thanks Linda! It was good to get an eye level shot of one on the ground for a change.

#SundaySquirrel is here again
I have been back with the red squirrels ♥️ this week after a long break for various reasons.
This is one of three siblings that visit our feeder.
Pleased with this shot - it only posed for a moment!

I see them here only very occasionally, some years not at all.

It seems to be a very long time since I photographed a #birdonawire, Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme for today, so here's a yellowhammer on our garden fence from a few years back.

It's good for the soul too! I finally got to spending some time with ours over the last couple of days after a long break for various reasons. Photos soon!

Thanks! Actually a surprisingly easy shot! Yes, a cliff edge on the Isle of May in June, but where there's a slight dip, I think above Bishop's Cove, and although no fence, a large flattish area where you can look along the cliffs. I'm not good with exposed drops, so was nowhere near the edge 😬🫣🤣

Here is a beautifully dainty kittiwake for Alan's #BirdOfTheDay #shadesofgrey theme with more complementary shades of grey in the surrounding rocks. This lovely gull is in trouble, red listed, with the UK breeding population nearly halved over the last 50 years or so.
