He heard that too
Echinopsis have done their thing again...'bout two weeks ago.
Heard my first Cuckoo today in the pissing down rain in the Kentmare Valley in Cumbria.
Not in my garden but brought my two eldest GAA training this morning and its right beside the coast. There were loads of sand martin flying around. Great to see. Some years you dont see them at all.
This is the Ichneumon stramentor - a non-stinging wasp - not seen that often compared to may of the species.

Photograph posted by Paul_Iddon with the description: Ichneumon stramentor: Best find of this year so far! At least I think that is what it is anyway. This little Ichneumon is actually around an inch long, but it moved non-stop and trying to focus manually on the Venus lens was almost...

It is a Tawny Owl mate, I just checked on my bird finder App
great find

You got lucky there, as they’re normally out of the nest by early April. That’s either come from a very late nest or a replacement clutch. ( possibly washed out with all that rain we had in the late Winter )
I’ve found Tawny Owls on eggs in early February in the past,

It's Arachnida ( Acari - Mites ) - Prostigmata - Eupodidae - Eupodes sp.
I don't think I've seen one before let alone photographed one! They're tiny and oh so quick too !

Spent an hour before the nutty thunder and rain, at the Peregrine nest sight in South Liverpool today.
Four chicks in the nest now ( RSPB Twitter feed ) so much more activity.
Female constantly on the outside ledge, waiting and calling to the male, as he comes back from a hunt. Also loads of noise, as the male presents the female with whatever he has caught.

Males rarely bring back exactly what you requested from the market
