bird in the middle is belwived to be a Pheasant.
Here are some further pictures taken by Bob Blamey -The flying bird is actually an Owl!

Lastly, yesterday during a particularly good hatch of
Mayflies a Hobby was 'making hay' and hawking around the river collecting
Mayflies in it's feet and passing them to it's beak, eating on the wing, it was
catching one about every 5 seconds, and was so engrossed in it's banquet
it continued feeding right over the heads of amazed spectators! |
