No need to feel like a plonker Mic!!! There are plenty of us on here still learning. I'm okay with all the garden birds but anything else and it straight to the ID thread!!!

The chicks were ringed on Thursday evening, and were found to be 3 healthy females. The unhatched egg was removed.

The team have mentioned on Facebook that there are currently problems with the webcam.

That's brilliant Jason - I can just feel your excitement coming right through your post! Two brilliant birds (I never get bullfinches) and the photos are not bad at all! That last one is lovely.

Glad to hear the BBRs are getting closer MC. I really do hope you get to see them soon (and get a photo or too for us!) after all this waiting. Maybe they have decided to time it just right and have waiited for the Bank Holiday weekend and the sunshine.

Here's another short clip of one of the fledglings being fed. Unfortunately the female is obstructing the juvenile some of the time, but it's quite a sweet clip.

Caledonia GE update to 22nd May

Spending most of her time at the spot shown above, on the east bank of the Guadalquivir.

However, there are enough local movements to show she is OK - furthest to a pond 6 miles away.

Forum post: Licensed Destruction of Buzzard Eggs

Larry — Sat, 25 May 2013 04:41:00 GMT

Hello ...

... puzzled by the lack of response so far from the RSPB about the news that Natural England and DEFRA went ahead after all and secretly licensed the destruction of Buzzard eggs to protect pheasants ...

Blog post: Bees and wasps...

Howard Vaughan — Sat, 25 May 2013 04:06:00 GMT

It is still fairly quiet on the insect front but Lawrence Rogers got some great shots the other day of several species of solitary bee and wasp in the wildlife garden.

I will add more names once I have fathomed them all out!

Ichneumon wasp

You can see the ocelli on the head between the true eyes of this little bee.

Nomada sp wasp (I think)

Andrena bee sp (again note the ocelli)

and I think that this one is Tawny Mining Bee....

I'd never really thought about that but now you mention it I think they do. When not actively feeding one perched on the drystone wall , another , the one in the last pic , stood on small tussock in the field for at least ten minutes without moving just checking all around. The tussock wasn't very high but obviously high enough to improve his view.
