Bursting into Print

Wild West Yorkshire nature diary

It's great to be printing again. Dales Way Diary is going through my printer without a hitch so, in between folding, stapling and feeding the machine with paper, I'm able to catch up with a few of last week's diary entries.

Starlings spend much of the day pecking at the 'Sunflower Treat' block of fat in a hanging feeder.

This morning, as sparrows and starlings were feeding, a sparrowhawk made a sudden appearance, swooping low over the hedge, switchbacking to the other side and, a few moments later, emerging down by our shed. It didn't make a kill.
