No pictures I'm afraid but on this late afternoons local ride...
A buzzard, a big one, loping away from a tree I was passing. No drama, big and healthy but one thing always occurs to me, 25 years ago, I never ever saw them here, you had to go south west to see them, now they're a regular sight here.
A hare.
A couple of gold finches
Three crows in a tree, squarking and threatening a kestrel sat in the same tree, they all flapped off noisily with a screech from the kestrel.
2 peacock butterflies sat in the sun, mating perhaps.
Pigeons everywhere, skittling across the sky, they always exhibit a purposeful flight, like somethings always chasing them :laugh:

So lucky to have a dormouse!

My swallows arrived this morning at dawn. One of the outriders has done a recce the other day. Now around six birds are here, busily talking and clearing the old nests.

It's a momentous day in my year, and.gives me great faith that the world still turns.

The highest number was forty eight birds in the late nineties, being those that leave for Africa . Now I'm lucky if I get twenty to go.

Out at dusk to count and watch and listen
