This first picture was from a fascinating stand-off at Leeshaw Res where the I spent more than hour watching the little owl eying up the pheasant chicks. The female pheasant eventually crossed to the other side of the wall taking most of the chicks with her however three remained on this side. The owl watched intently but never made a move on them and eventually after a further 20 minutes the last of the chicks crossed the wall and rejoined mother closely watched by the owl.
I was reminded of the next picture by the recent gropper sightings. This one was taken at Marley 2nd May 2005.
This Jay was photographed at St Ives after a very patient wait.
The final picture of a Long-tailed Tit remains one of my favourite pictures.
Cheers
Ian
