Post meal scratch
Sparrow hawk
Nothing like a good scratch after a meal.
As a matter of interest the whole colony is dead- looks like they have all left. Just next year now. At least the foxes didn't get at them this time.

I can't make up my mind whether it is scratching or sticking it's foot out and saying 'This bird paparazzo is getting on my nerves' :eek: :biggrin: :biggrin: :wink: Whatever it is, still a very nice shot.

Thanks all.
Hate to spoil the fun but I didn't do anything !
Same bird,- different day - different time of day. Only difference is he is about 5 foot from the bank instead of sat on it. !
Cheers
