Wildlife on your doorstep.

[TheDweezil]

I love wildlife. I consider myself as a conservationist. I used to be a falconer. Unfortunately as the years rolled by there was less places to fly a bird.

What wildlife do you get in your area ?

Here's a few of my local wildlife pics...

No. Chris Packham is against Falconers. I used to be one. He's not a conservationist. I have asked him many times on culling Magpies and Grey Squirrels. He would not answer me.

One day all we will see in our gardens are Magpies and Grey Squirrels. Sad but true.

No. They have to survive.

I'm working on it TheDweezil, so I have your thread tagged!

Will you be participating in the RSPBBGB, at the back of next week?

They're horrible when they down a pigeon and proceed to eat every part of it save the feathers on your patio, having crashed into the window first!

Peregrines are amazing.

Amazing how wildlife thrives. I once looked out of my window into the solemn eyes of a peregrine falcon that had chosen to sit in my birch tree for a bit. They are breeding over in the disused chalk pits on the outskirts of the city.

Great pictures,  @TheDweezil. You must live in a lovely part of the country!

Flat open land in the Cambridgeshire Fens here. Lots of muntjacs around, but they rarely linger long enough for you to click on a camera.

Swans flourish on the Cam, and on the lodes that cut across from the villages. These on the lode from Reach towards Upware:
