| 12 November 2009, a kestrel which as been looking out for a snack is being harassed by a magpie, this carried on for several minutes until the magpie finally went off somewhere else. The kestrel remained for some time. |

| Here is a damselfly that has just emerged today, warming up in the sun, you can see its' empty case behind it. |

| It is a bit of a miracle to get a picture of a kestrel with an Olympus C60, this was the best I could do, a couple of minutes before this, this bird had suddenly dropped down on to the ground a couple of plots away, obviously grabbing a snack, it then made off towards the cemetary which is when I caught it, it had been around the site for some time previously. In fact it is a regular visitor, not quite sure where it lives. |
