Blue Tits feeding their young at Higher Hodder Bridge

Walking across Higher Hodder Bridge, I noticed a lot of activity from Blue Tits, and it soon became obvious that they were going into nests built inside cracks in the bridge itself. I thought at the time that what they had in their beaks was nesting material, which struck me as a bit odd, as they should have finished their nests a few weeks ago. It wasn't until I could look at the photographs back home that it was obvious that the blue tits had caught flies that they were feeding to their young.

Watching a Barn Owl Strike

We had the great fortune to see a barn owl strike this early evening, and managed to capture it on camera. (Well, one of us did - Jo has spent the past 2 hours spluttering language that would cause a barn owl to glow pink as she'd put her lens on the wrong setting). Not the greatest photographs ever, but at least it's possible to see what's going on.

I'm not so sure what it's caught - a mole?

Not a happy bunny...

This unfortunate rabbit was found just at the entrance to a small evergreen forest. It was quite fresh, and there was still a fair amount of meat left on the skeleton. As you an see, the head had been removed and the fur/skin had been torn back from the carcass. Various organs were scattered about. Click on the image for a much larger version of the photo.

Any ideas about what may have had rabbit pie? Our current guess is that it's a stoat.
