I’m not sure where they all appeared from so quickly, the horse wasn’t long gone by but there were probably 10 or so of them.
What wildlife did you spot today?

BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Although surrounded by all sorts of wildlife, birds are most prevalent here. Having a brew with curlews, raven & skylarks with the place to yourself is rather special.
A rare sighting in these parts. A group of long tailed tits landed in the woodland here. I love them. x
sadly no pics (=my only camera these days is my phone and that stays switched off in my cabin unless i head to the "office" (=Wi-Fi spot) in the afternoon...)
i've seen them a few times in different locations (Costa Rica and near lake nicaragua), some folks claim they only exist south of the Darien, but i live north of that -- guess they get mixed up between neotropical and giant otter...
i never saw eurasian otters (lutra lutra) in europe, but up to 3 together in one place in south korea (which is surprising given the amount of pesticides in the water)

great stuff. thanks xAn egret and some fieldfares (not very good pictures).
I spotted a barn owl hunting. We have three owls in Ireland. Long and short eared and the barn owl. No tawny owls and no moles either. Not to mention snakes thanks to st patrick.

I put up a fact sheet when I cant get a picture. Its a nice addition to a sighting and is of interest to readers.
ps the nuthatch is my favorite bird. x
Saw my first Frogspawn of the year today, in a small pool on open country at around 360m / 1,200ft in Radnorshire, Powys. Several clumps of it in the pool.
Saw a pair of Ravens today, which was very cool. Never seen wild Ravens before.
South Staffs, just flying around really making that “ kraa kraa kraa sound/call they do. There was just the one at first, after a while it was joined by a second bird and they slowly flew away. Hope to see them again
A Queen Bumblebee searching low over the grass for a nest site, checking out some old vole holes in the stream's bank. A pair of noisy Buzzards, a Newt larva and Water Boatmen, garden birds, more mushrooms on tree stumps, and my favourite...newborn lambs in the field!! It's been a gorgeous Spring day here and I've been admiring the Snowdrops, Daffodils and Hellebores lining the lanes.
