At this time of year, plants and flowers are a bit thin on the ground. So, I have abandoned my trusty macro lens and have been experimenting with my zoom lens.
From the trees and hedgerows, I have notice little rustlings and tweets. As the trees are bare, some wildlife has been a lot easier to spot. Here are a few birds I have spied recently. I hope you enjoy them.

Lovely images, nice to notice new things. (btw the Sparrowhawk is a Kestrel)

A kestrel? Thank you! What’s the difference between them, they look very similar to me?

Sparrowhawks have piercing yellow eyes, a barred plumage (the males blue/grey back and orange breast) the tails are shorter and in flight the wings broader. They are quite secretive birds whereas Kessies will often sit out in the open or ‘hover’ in search of prey.

OK. Thank you for this. Quite challenging to take them, as they move a lot quicker than flowers!!
