It was only a week, or so, ago when I posted an image of the, regular, male Sparrowhawk perched on the framework of my old aviary flight. I was very happy with the images captured through the double glazing of my back door and actually received a comment complimenting the photo on the blog. This morning saw a repeat performance but, this time around, the back door was wide open due to the tumble drier being in use. Almost in exactly the same position, although facing away from me, the bird allowed me to grab just four shots before departing the scene.
Bev and I then took a drive, via the scenic route, across to The Elham Valley Garden Centre to pick up a supply of logs which should see us through the festive period? It is an amazing place and home to The Fifth Trust charity. They exist to help adults with learning difficulties and/or mental health issues. Coffee and cake (the menu is far more extensive) in the cafe facility is a very rewarding experience for any visitor, thus, highly recommended if ever you're in the vicinity. Plus you will also be supporting a very worthy cause.
Our drive back home followed the scenic option and we managed to count ten egrets alongside the cattle where I'd spotted them yesterday. I made no attempt to get better views, thus am unable to say if they were all Cattle Egrets or not?
