5- Id welcome here This little thing + a friend were foraging for something on the footpath I walked onto so I observed for a while. This was taken after I got a bit too close and it took off.

I could be wrong but the pigeon looks like a turtle dove. It's the rufous feather edges that give it away! Are you in their breeding range?

Raptor = red kite , I think.

Little thing = juvenile robin , je pense.....

Its a turtle dove and a dunnock along with the red kite of course.

Just checked the RSPB site and since I'm on the south coast I guess I'm in their usual range? Shame they always sit up that stupid tree and never come down a bit closer lol :/

Surprised its a red kite since there's supposed to be a Kestrel nest near there but thanks for the ID

I stand corrected on the dunnock.....
