What have you seen

Bluemalaga - Thanks for info have marked my OS map.  Must have been the hide we could see from the RSPB hide from which we saw the Spoonbills etc.

It would have been that hide. It puts you a fair distance from the Osprey, but clear sight of the bird when it takes flight and hunts.

Woke up this morning to a very empty and quiet garden, no birds feeding or singing. Then I got a call from the OH to say there was a large bird sat on our Pergola overlooking the feeders and pond.

A couple of Magpies finally chased it off.

Quick snaps through dirty double glazing shows Juvenile male Sparrowhawk is my best assessment but stand correction.

Note - Must clean windows.

Looks like it Blue, great pics, thanks for sharing

Lovely pics, on my phone they show up really well. Thanks! 

We sometimes get close up views of Sparrowhawks in our garden, they are quite bold. I know when one is around as the garden is silent with no other birds on view.

Lovely pictures of the sparrowhawk,  thanks for sharing. 

OP

Have you noted the Pallas's Grasshoper Warbler sighted at Burnham Overly  Straith Norfolk and a Great Bustard seen for a few weeks at Chewton Mendip in Somerset.

Have heard about the PGW but not GB.  Thanks for the heads up though

Rare bird alert gives the location of both

I know its very parochial of me but I only tend to keep an eye on East Anglia 

OK, I thought you were fairly keen to see the GB from your earlier posts.
