My #Robin friends Henry and Heidi courtship feeding. Sadly, they lost their chicks to a cat the other day, but Heidi has built a new nest and they're trying again. In #Bath #Somerset #UK

Small Snakefly (Xanthostigma xanthostigma) in #Bath #Somerset #UK. Snakeflies are under-recorded and seldom-seen insects - only the second one I've ever seen. This one was beaten from a Hawthorn tree.

A Reed Bunting perched in a tree, he was keeping near the river as well.
At the Fen Hide there’s a Coot family in and out of the water. The parents are busy looking after 8 chicks!
Here’s a picture of 7 of them.
As we arrived at RSPB Strumpshaw the kingfisher appeared almost like it was greeting us!
Last week at RSPB Strumpshaw we walked the long path around the back of the reserve, I think every single step we were in earshot of a sedge warbler!
They are tricky to get a photo of there, the reed beds are very dense.
Something buried an acorn and didn't come back to eat it later. Found at the end of our garden, a good 100 yards or so from the nearest oak tree, which is the other side of the road. Not seen any squirrels on this side of the road, so maybe a bird?
