Fantastic photos Grayling, the shots of the Egret are beautiful and that's an excellent sequence of the kestrel with it's prey

Many thanks Tabatha and Jan Tabatha, it does have a lot of rings dosn't it. I've been on-line and can't find any information/recorded sightings about this spoonbill so have E-mailed the RSPB at Paghan to see if they know anything about it. |

Excellent photos of the Spoonbill, Grayling. I'm sure the RSPB will be able to enlighten you and it does look like a regularly ringed individual. |

Many thanks Dave and Julie I've had a reply from Pagham - there have been 3 Spoonbills over-wintering in the harbour this year. This morning the male Blackcap has been visiting the garden - these are a bit grainy so will have to keep any eye out for a better photo opportunity ![]() ![]() and on New Years Day we had a number of Long-tailed Tits visiting - here's 3 of them on the fat balls

Thank you Jen, Tabatha and Julie Julie, it has been regularly visiting but is very shy and has now started to visit the fat balls and becoming a bit bolder

According to the Lady who did the study for the BTO they can get quite protective of their food source .........watch out for future fisticuffs
