Spoonbills nice light

taken yesterday evening when the light was superb








Turtle Dove

never expected to get any photos of this near lost species this year but a bit of luck when it came down on the track by my parked car

Nightjars, Woodcock and mosquitoes

a pleasant forest evening -- cannot work out what the Woodcock is carrying -- it was roding at the same time so presumably opening its bill with this thing in it? it has been the worst year I have known for Nightjars not just numbers but activity levels with so little churring  possibly as there are fewer males to dispute territories
