Don't know how clear this will come out but you can see the eye of the storm in the valley and thunder is in back ground.

Now take a walk down to the dam to check its filling up with rain water.

 

[saleen 192]

Lol.... In pic looks like mini tornado in the valley. Just had another heavy down pour. River is now flowing. If in llani area tomorrow will look at that dams level.

Update had a bit of rain so river flowing a little bit and got magic mushroom by plumb tree.

 

[chris68coupe]

That's reassuring.

 

[saleen 192]

Saw on cctv went outside and there was 2 hedgehogs they move very quick as well.

 

[TransAmDan]

You done well to catch it on camera, they are fast little things.

 

[saleen 192]

They are bigger than last years must be doing something right for the wildlife.

They are bigger than last years must be doing something right for the wildlife.

They live 2-5 years in the wild, so there is a good chance it could be the same one from last year. If it feels safe will start creating many mini spikey creatures. They usually have 4-6 babies, but can be as many as 10.

Not nice to see. Bird of pry been killed
Might be a sparrow hawk???

 

[chris68coupe]

Sad indeed, could be a Sprarrow Hawk but I think the legs should be more yellow.

 

[TransAmDan]

Could also be natural, old age.

 

[saleen 192]

It's been mentoned a few times around that they have seen a go's hawk could be looking at Google pic.

It might have had in flight fight with another bird of pry?. Old age? Hit a power pole? They have put 2 new ones up in farmers field and laid under ground cable

. These new poles are on the other side of river to where the bird is.

Found a jackdaw bird in river this morning. Don't know if it will survive??? Wings seam OK legs thought might be damaged but do move.

 

[saleen 192]

Update on jackdaw. He/she tried a couple of times around 11ish to fly only went about a meter then rested by gate just gone out and must of managed to fly away. After resting.

 

[chris68coupe]

Good result, I often see birds in the garden just sitting there with their wings spread out. Maybe a way of cooling down.

 

[saleen 192]

I must admit I don't like all the jackdaws coming into garden taking food scaring all the other birds but seeing it in the river bed and not even trying to escape I had to rescue it it squalked alot but didn't try to escape or peck at me. I moved it's wings and legs all seamed OK.

 

[saleen 192]

Well the jackdaw didn't make it.

Don't know what was happing at 2am this morning as got woken by what might be an owl? Screeching away or a least a bird making alot oh sounds. Will have a look in day light

 

[TransAmDan]

Oh no poor thing.
I thought you were going to say it came back for food. Looks like it came in to some problems last night.
