One of two jackdaws gathering nesting material in the garden a few days ago. I understand they are nesting in a neighbour’s chimney which could be problematic.

A pair of great crested grebe trying to build a nest around a drowned tree at ANR yesterday (14/04). I doubt if they will succeed as the water is quite deep at that point. The camera was hand held so the image is a bit wobbly.

These are images of wildlife taken recently by my friend Dave in his garden. One of the tawny owls popped out of the nest box for just a moment and a pair of mallards have taken up residence on his garden pond. They would be wise to find a more secure location in case Mr Fox pays a visit.
