You are right Gordon. I have found a better photo. My pictures are not catalogued so it can take hours to find a photo. As there are 300 or so images on a disc it would take up too much space to put a text on the disc. Does anyone know of an easy way (apart from writing out a list) of recording what is on each disc?

On the west side of our garden, we are bordered by a road and then a neighbour's row of Scots Pines. A pair of Magpies have been nesting in one of them, and visiting our garden repeatedly for food.
This afternoon a Red Kyte attacked the nest and flew off with a nestling in its claws, very loudly chased by one of the Magpies. The latter reappeared about 10 minutes later, checked the nest and then flew off.

The Blue Tits nest is very active. Seem to be able to find sufficient food. The meal worms I put out are not touched during the day, although they disappear overnight and the tray is tipped over.

A Robin is continually flying in and out of the Ivy hedge so must be finding sufficient food too.
