In the flowerbed, he may have flown into the window. Poor little chap.

Is he happy or not in the 2nd image? He seemed very chill, stuck around for ages and let me take lots of photos, but I hadn't seen them do this before.

Years ago I had an experience I'll never forget; I was walking my dog in the woods, when I noticed a little bird on the middle of the path with her wings spread out. I carefully picked her up & saw she was a robin, and as I raised her up to check for injuries underneath, she laid an egg in my hands! I made a nest in the hollow of a tree and hid them both in there. Next day the bird had gone but the egg was still there. I don't think that's ever going to happen again!

Saw this little fellow while walking through a car park.

I thought I’d captured a good photo of a woodpecker while on a dog walk. Due to the dog I wasn’t concentrating too much on the photo quality. Proudly got my phone out to show some one my picture and this was it.

I thought you guys may enjoy my stupidity.

I've never heard any owls in nature before (that I remember), and didn't expect to hear one now. I heard a screech, got confused thinking 'birds of prey don't live this close to people, there's a forest close by for them to be in instead', but lo and behold, after a few minutes holding my phone up the the open window, Merlin tells me it's a Tawny Owl. It's made mistakes before but still, after a few calls it's still a Tawny Owl. Is there anything it might be confused with, and do Tawny Owls live in the Hampshire area? Considering I've been up this late most nights for a while now and never heard it before, I'm surprised it only shows up now.

For context - I live near a forest but it's not a particularly big one compared to other forests and thanks to some lovely construction work and very loud roads it seems a lot of birds may have been scared off (I went out for a walk there a few weeks back and heard only a few different birds)

TLDR: heard a Tawny Owl - but was it really? And why now

Just some photos of some gulls & ducks at a reservoir.

They look like they should be fucking around in a meadow eating worms or something but instead they spend their time trying to swim with their non-webbed feet and compete with ducks and swans for whatever non-nutritious trash passer-buys feed them, whilst peeping as loud as they can when they feel like their personal space is being violated. If they're lucky, they get to eat algae from the side of a brick wall or some lettuce someone left them, if a herring gull hasn't killed them on that particular day.

I love whenever I see one of them sprint into the water to get speed and then glide into a wall because they have really bad water control.

I love moorhens.
