As usual Julie, fantastic photos. :clap3:

Lucky you for seeing the Kite, let alone managing to capture it. I've yet to see one, so I'm a tad :jealous: :giggle:

On our way home we called in to the river gardens which is less than a 10 minute drive from where we live but never seem to bother visiting :shrug: This will now change as after only being there for 15 mins we spotted a Kingfisher! rubbish photo but was thrilled to see one there and will be going back next week to try and get better photos :grin:

I thought this Hybrid Mallard had lovely markings

There was also a great variety of Ferral Pigeons about in the gardens, some of them beautifully marked

Starlings either look fierce or grumpy - or fiercely grumpy :lol2:

Lovely photos Julie - especially the shot of the Barn Owl - it's a few years now that I've seen one.

Lovely catch up :greatpics:
