Bit less scary than an Eagle Owl

Thanks to Austin Thomas, who sent me these pix today after finding Birdblog for his first visit a day or two back - it's all downhill from here Austin!

Austin explains: "Nice to hook up with you and thanks for the Blog, I’m really enjoying reading what I’ve been missing !
Snap of the Little Owl as promised. He was quite a distance away so “just a snap� but quite recognisable.
The Nuthatch image was taken at Siding Lane, Rainford. I’ve been covering the Rainford, Bickerstaff to Kirkby area over the last few weeks and I will now venture further north early mornings and evenings towards Plex Moss with the camera."

It takes a strong man to stay sane on Plex - good luck my friend!
Meanwhile in the city, Seth Gibbard adds: "the 2 swans that live by Waterloo Quay apartments (amongst the rubble of the new apartments being built at Princes Dock) finally had their cygnets.
5 in all - born on May 29th."

Thanks for the pic Seth.
I don't know, trip reports from Lesvos, new websites, new photographers - I really must get out and do some birdin' myself asap before my slender grip on sanity is finally prised loose.
Eyes to the skies everyone, eyes to the skies...

Mistle Thrush young just fledged and flew from a nest in our bin shed, Sefton Park/Mossley Hill.
My husband Tom and our neighbour Rona watched the pair put the nest together.
