A mouse yesterday playing between the tracks at Edgeware Road tube station.

First swallow of the year in Over Haddon. Saw it swoop straight into my neighbours garage to check out a regular nest site. Isn't nature wonderful?
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Three crows. One had a bit piece of food in its mouth, the other two were chasing and harassing it until eventually it dropped the food. Like being mugged on the way home from Tesco.

Nature is indeed wonderful. I saw three hirundines today. I was driving and I’m 90% they were swallows but on a beautiful afternoon who cares?Originally Posted by Llani Boy
There were some pretty wild creatures in Oxford Circus today!

I’ve had a week of crows dropping various items down my chimney, a crow guard sorted them, but they did manage to deposit 2 carrier bags full of various twigs, slate, slices of bread, feathers and other crow pickings, to be honest, I’m amazed they managed to take off with the size of some of the stones, we could hear them bombing things down while we were lazing in bed in the mornings
Barn owl quartering the ground yesterday, and something slate coloured and bird of prey-like and small too. Hobby or merlin? Again I couldn’t tell. Then today a lizard without a tail on a fence post near Robin Hood’s Bay. Mrs Noel and the kids saw lots of seals on their beach walk near Ravenscar.
Early for a hobby. If it was over / by fairly low moorland merlin sounds better bet. Otherwise maybe a small male sparrowhawk
First bats of the year seen this evening, flitting around a street light.
