Richard and myself have some wonderful visits out, unfortunately we get some overlaps of images but as you see they are from different angles. Yes the Ospreys have all gone, we had the end of season meeting last night, it has been a really successful season for the birds, it's also a sad time for the volunteers as we miss the birds and the duties.

I did not succeed because they never stoped to have a rest. It is nice to go out with a friend like Richard and still see the different angel in wich the same subject is captured. Those three Hawkers hanging on the branche is stunning. As I followed the Ospreys and read the blog they write I understand that all birds are now gone on their way to Africa. Another season ended. <br />Regards,<br />RoosRooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02095611236289233818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743646701098031420.post-35982147778186997772016-09-10T09:34:26.704+01:002016-09-10T09:34:26.704+01:00Hi Noushka, thanks for the confirmation, we really...Hi Noushka, thanks for the confirmation, we really could do without anymore foreign imports.

The water birds, dragonfly close ups and other insects are impressive. The Ospreys are always a treat, the wagtail and little owl, wonderful! I also enjoyed the migratory map very much.

I have just come in from the back, chasing Hawkers earlier, then sat down and suddenly heard a Little Owl call, in the corner by the Owl box, this followed by a call half way up the back, this carried on for about fifteen minutes and I came in then as it was nearly dark. Most likely juveniles on the move. We still from what I can see have the two adults, wait till Thursday. See you then whatever we are doing.

The three Migrant Hawkers together is something IO have not seen before, usually if they are that close together they are fighting. I believe the Hornet was European so hopefully not your Asian. and at last a Little Owl image, can keep the blog name as it is. Have a good rest of the week.

They are fairly rare in France and non-existant in the south.<br />Those 3 Migrant hawker together is a sight I not witnessed although I know that it is not uncommon to see many together at migration time.<br />I hope you only have the indigenous hornet, we here have to face the invasion of the Asian one and it is a very real threat to bees :( <br />And a LO in the last pic!! <br />Great stuff, keep well :)Noushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11583459949373167021noreply@blogger.com
