I hope it&#39;s just a case of missing each other as I wasn&#39;t around mid-evening. Will try again tomorrow night. <\/p>\n<p>As for the weather&#8230; it&#39;s been typically English and erratic. Lots of rain, some sunshine (which brought out a butterfly), a burst of hail, and a rainbow.<\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/redadmiral_181106001.jpg' \/><\/span><br \/><span class=\"aligncenter\">Red Admiral<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/rainbow_181106037.jpg' \/><\/span><br \/><span class=\"aligncenter\">Rainbow<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/pigeon_181106024.jpg' \/><\/span><br \/><span class=\"aligncenter\">Pigeon (taken when the sun was out!)<\/span> <\/p>\n<p>One other bright spot was seeing a young kestrel recovering from a broken wing when I picked up the mange treatment earlier today. Last week the bird&#39;s wing was bandaged, but the recovery is well underway and &#8211; so I&#39;m told &#8211; it&#39;s now just a case of strengthening the wing and putting on some weight. Speaking of which, during the afternoon (at the time still wondering whether yesterday&#39;s crow was a crow or a raven&#8230; I&#39;m now settled on &#39;crow&#39;) I spotted an aerial duel of sorts. It was at too high an altitude to be sure about the identification, but I <i>think<\/i> it&#39;s a crow being chased by a kestrel or sparrowhawk (I really don&#39;t have a clue and this is the best shot I could get&#8230; they were virtual dots in the sky). They were well out of sight before I could tell whether anything serious came of the encounter.<\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/crow_kestrel_181106029.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s raining again (about 00.15 on Sunday morning), so I don&#39;t think we&#39;ll get a late visit from the fox. But this pretty young thing put in a brief appearance a little earlier (and snaffled some of the sultanas that were meant for his elder).<\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/cubs_181106016.jpg' \/><\/span> <br \/><span class=\"aligncenter\">Surveying the scene<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/cubs_181106028.jpg' \/><\/span> <br \/><span class=\"aligncenter\">Caching sultanas!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[990,980,992,4,67,1042],"tags":[1144,1128,59,111],"class_list":["post-750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bird-of-prey","category-birds-2","category-butterfly-insects-2","category-foxes","category-mange","category-weather-2","tag-butterfly","tag-fox","tag-pigeon","tag-rainbow","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
