I haven't been out with the camera since before Easter
There's absolutely tons of hooded crows here at the moment. The goats tend to disappear into the hills around now. I think they're penned up due to the increase in visitor traffic on the roads, did I say they're not actually wild. However the other dark satanic ones, who truly are wild are still about.
I cycled past a perched buzzard and a close Heron recently but no camera
The Herons are scrapping just now. They look amazingly Pterodactyl like when they're acrobating around. Saw some lapwings over in Nothumberland at Easter - crazy birds.
No Swifts/Swallows (I get them mixed up) yet, they arive in numbers soonish. There's also been a couple of hooty owls about but I haven't seen them.
I also know some rough Otter areas now. I'm trying to find out more before I go off looking.
I need that bigger lens but the bank says no
