Nature.

Can anyone identify this bird? Landed in the garden briefly yesterday. Pheasant like thing with orange legs, apologies for the poor pics.

I'd say it was a Reeves pheasant

Pileated woodpeckers tearing an old stump apart.

Hairy woodpecker on the bird feeder. Giving me dirty looks for being so close.

Some recent sightings on the farm .
1 . Nearly stepped on this little fawn while rogueing .
2 . I think this is a Sika . He is as tame as anything and I can get within 12 metres of him . I think he must be an escapee from a local deer farm .
3 and 4 . We have been lucky enough to have been visited several times recently by this Marsh Harrier .

Came across two of these today, never knew such a thing existed here, are they leeches?

Barn owl chucks rung today. 4 healthy ones yet again ??

It's been a hot one today, the blackbirds have had a job to keep cool.

This years owl chicks

Not sure if there's 3 or 4 chicks, last pic might show both adults

 

[Short_Angus]

Definitely 4 chicks

 

[Wombat]

2 of these have left the nest their parents commandeered an owl box a few years ago. Seem quite content using the yard as home base

And the other one have a chat with it’s neighbour over the fence

 

[Peter]

So hot, bats come out of their roust trying to find somewhere cooler.
