After three weeks of nail biting and sleepless nights (yes me, not the bird), trying to keep the cats etc. off, the first of our two blackbirds ventured forth into the big wide world this morning.
Apologies for the slightly de-focused picture, but I didn’t want to get too close or spend too much time composing the shot.
Please click to enlarge.
Update: Here’s a second photo, which shows both fledglings in sharper focus. (more…)
A pioneering source of renewable energy for Parwich?

The Parwich Memorial Hall funding group are currently preparing a grant application which, if successful, will make our new Hall entirely self-sufficient for all its energy needs – as well as generating extra electricity for the village.
Due to our location at the end of a valley, residents will be aware of how windy it can get – particularly on the top of Parwich Hill. Therefore, the plan is to capture this wind energy by installing a wind turbine on top of the hill.
Thanks to the latest technological advances, modern wind turbines are much less visually intrusive than they used to be – as you can see from our artist’s impression.

Mike G has sent us in this contribution to the Parwich ornithology collection with the comment: “Racing Pigeon on holiday! Possibly became a pie if it ever went home.”

Got it! At last…. But the question is. Is it a Greater, Middle or Lesser Spotter Woodpecker? Is it male or is it female? 
The RSPB website might help confirm the sex of this Greater Spotted Woodpecker.

Domestic strife or love at first sight?
Thank you to John F-S for more wonderful bird shoots – Spring is in the air so who knows what shots might be taken! Keep them coming.

And here’s a very rare bird indeed: the Parwich cuckoo! It’s still a bit early to hear its first call of the spring – but do keep your ears peeled.
