I love these we get quite a few on a shrub on the way to the bus/shops here they’re truly incredible and awesome to catch a shot on your phone, well done. Remember not that long ago you really needed an SLR to get a half decent shot of wildlife like that. If you like weird flying things look up Cockchafers they appear in waves every so many years and you can tell whaen they’re about as you’ll hear the thud as they hit your windows they’re like the chinook of the beetle world
We had a Rosy Cheeked Starling in our garden little while back but daren’t say anything about it nearer the time as we’d get so many twitchers descend on us it’s just not funny. When the White Crowned Sparrow tuned up the buses needed a police escort to get thru as the twitchers stood in the road, there was nearly a fight as those walking past would scare the bird and twitchers threatened to attack them and so on, someone eventually managed to extract some money from them and got an addition to a stained glass window at the church but would’ve been better had they not been there so we always keep quiet.
You’d be surprised the wildlife here that never gets reported and only locals know about bit like the semi-regular Norfolk Poooma sightings inc police officers but again it doesn’t get reported further up cos no one wants to see it hunted and shot or the mass descend trampling the countryside.
There’s a small colony of Wallabies nearby as well as Polecats and there’s also been Pine martens spotted
