Wren

Les and I spent an enjoyable few hours at the Welney WWT on the Ouse washes, this was one of a pair of wrens that were constantly landing just ouside the hide, prior to zooming off to feed their brood

Cuckoos at lakenheath fen



I have never seen more cuckoos! i had a wondwerful day at lakenheath fen, by 0630 i had seen Savi's warbler, Red footed falcon, grasshopper warbler and bittern in flight, the hobbies and cuckoos were later bonus's

Hobby




I spent the best part of a day at Lakenheath fen trying to photograph the red footed falcon that had taken up residence there but the hobbies made the trip worthwhile as my pictures of the falcon were disappointing.

You'd never believe it

This wonderful character was one of the highlights of our trip with the Stevenage RSPB group. We came across him with his owner, he is free flying and about 38 years old, he spends his days in his owners studio or out for walks/flights with him.

Lesvos lizards



The top one is a starred agama, these we found out in the most arid open areas, the last one is a Balkan green lizard but the middle one, which was 18 inches long approx, I can find no reference to - I would like to know tho'
