With my daughter being on school holidays this week, I've been to a few different places and with some different animals too. So there won't just be birds this week. A visit to one of our local National Trust properties at Dunham Massey meant we could eat our lunch with the Fallow deer, which kept Eleanor amused while I scanned the trees with my eyes and ears for anything with wings. Here are some of the things we found.
A Nuthatch looking for grubs for it's young.
One of the many Jackdaw found in the park.
A Blackcap. One of our Summer migrants.
Mute Swan cygnets. Very cute indeed.
An Azure Dragonfly, in the throws of passion. Thanks to John R for the ID help.
One of our lunch friends. A Fallow deer.
