Marsh or Willow AJS?!

 

I've only seen one on our feeders a couple of times; wish it was more

Yes mate Marsh tit. Great little bird. 👍

Nice one, I'm taking that as a Marsh Tit (could be wrong though), I'm lucky to have them come to my workshop feeders, but they are well distributed though the woodland.

 

Yes pretty sure it’s a Marsh tit. Don’t see many of them. 👍

Kestrel from Monday, Launch from the mast, glide, dive into the dunes, and then off with a lizard. Whole sequence was 19 seconds.

 

First and third shot are my favourites. Nice colouring with the male Kestrel.

We have a pair of kestrel’s nesting up in a big pine tree. She was perched preening right at the top early evening. 
 

Heron popped by along with the cormorant.

 

lots of fallow dear out I. The woods as well. Try to capture (photos) when I can.

I think willow tits are even more rare.

There are some birds hidden inside but not sure what they might be?

Found in a field on the moor...

Could it be Lapwing? Not sure but that’s all I can find looking online. Would be a nice find if it is 👍

That looks very plausible. We do see Lapwing up there, Curlew and Oystercatcher too, and the odd Moorhen.

Deffow Lapwing/Peewit/Green Plover .

...or Pyewipe as I recently discovered.  

 

Would be ace if those are such eggs; I wish the parents all the best with so many corvids, badgers and foxes about.  But they may have become smarter in the face of such odds; my farming friend in Scotland has noticed a change in nesting habits of his few lapwings over the last few years.  Having been absent for a while due to predation they are slowly returning but are placing their nests in grass tussocks instead of in shallow indents as was previously the case.
