    I'm pretty sure that's an old one. I remember seeing it before. Still a great photo though.

    A Tawny Owl in Chislehurst 


    you lucky bleeder! hear tawnies regularly but have only ever seen silhouette through branches of one taking off at dusk. seeing a tawny in the wild remains my top UK wildlife ambition

    A jay in our garden this morning.
    I see them every so often in Lewisham, but normally I don't have time to take a picture this close.

    I once saw a Jay swallow an acorn whole - it was in Wapping.

    Google says that Jays can cram 3-5 acorns in their expandable throats to carry off and hide for their winter food cache.  They have a reputation of being ecological super spreaders - at least when it comes to growing Oak trees.

    Forgive me, not inner city & no photo.
    Saw a GOLDEN ORIOLE a few days ago.
    In the hills above Mojacar Spain.
    A sight to make the heart swell.
    Is that a type of tit?

    Being walked by poochy the other day and noticed this "Giant" snail. Its shell was about 2" long and I had never seen a snail as big before. I managed to get a piccy before it sped off -

    Looked it up when got in- apparently its a Roman snail, which were brought over by the Romans for food. They are now located in Southern England and protected.

    Also came across this large moth attempting to carry off this tree.
