After a failed attempt at Photographing the Kites again i headed off to have a look at some Nuthatches feeding their young in a hole in a wall. you can see where they have blocked up the hole with mud to reduce its diameter.
The parents were back and fore to the nest every couple of minutes.
This little Pesky varmit was nipping in and out like “Billy Whiz”between the wheely bins picking up spilt sunflower seeds.
Is it a mouse or a vole ? we’ve got a lot of voles in the bank and i think this is one of em.
For some time now Kites have been moving steadily south from their main area in Mid Wales, first moving over the Breacon Beacons , then slowly moving down the wooded valleys with occasional sightings just south of the heads of the valleys road.
Now it seems it won’t be long before their seen flying over Newport and Cardiff.
I’m determined to get some decent shots of these Dippers , they’re feeding their young at the moment , but the nest must be in the only place in south wales where the sun never shines!
and when you do get patches of light – no dipper.
While out the other day i had the feeling i was being watched. i was looking around the surrounding trees when i saw an eye wink at me from a crack in the nearest tree . Moving slightly to one side i could plainly see two young owls studying me from their nest. they still had a lot of down on them and will be in the nest for a few weeks yet ,
Hopefully i might get some better images, in the future, as they develop. some fine weather would be nice as well !
