A bird of prey in the garden

I took delivery of a new digital camera on Tuesday and haven't quite learnt out how to take photos yet with it - we had a tremendously exciting viewing of nature in action with what I think is a sparrowhawk dismantling its prey - probably a starling by the looks of it - and most of the phots I took were out of focus. d'oh. What a marvellous site though. Wonder if this will happen again - and if the NSE development takes place? Click for images of the Sparrowhawk.

Speaking of NSE development, there was a meeting last night at 7.30. I turned up at the council offices but it was moved to one of the SENSE campaigners houses. One of the other councillors said if I was busy to not bother as there were plenty of them - so I came home and carried on working.

My knee is now almost back to normal, in fact it went down on the Tues the same days as it blew up - so quick - but I had a later night on Tues night and earlier Wed morning so it hasn't fully recovered yet. At least I can walk fine though :-)
