Back to the last trip for 2 more pictures...
They still had a few wood sculptures in the external woodland - so I got a shot of the kingfishers, whose beak is broken on the their side...
...and a strangely shaped owl locked in a stable forecourt.
Back home again and I had a tree problem. The pittisporum was tilting towards the house. Cutting back branches of the yellow shrub to see whether the laurel was pushing it over or holding it up, Mr Bob declined to allow me to continue wthout voicing his opinion....
In Chichester with Liz, I spotted a couple of pigeons on the bell tower at the cathedral - one flew away before I got my camera out though.
We then took the city walls walk stopping off in the bishops gardens where we heard then saw this huge bird...we couldn't make out by eye alone if it was a cormorant or raven, so I took a photo.
Then we continued round the walls to Priory Park, where we stopped to check the budgies - only they were all indoors on this cold wintry day.
After Chichester, we stopped off at WWT Arundel for a quick half hour wander round. Two pelicans remain.
We then took the new walkway which is built outside the coastal aviary to allow visitors to observe the birds inside when not allowed inside due to bird flu being around. Here we see avocet, eider, tufted, redshank...
HEREis an article about eageles found in the UK
That's a great profile of the huge black mystery bird.
