Holiday Snaps 3

I've been sent some new images since last week's post.  They cover a variety of species, some taken at far-flung places, some taken nearer to home.  Many of the species taken beyond Yorkshire, could have been taken in Yorkshire, or are species we see regularly.  40 years ago we may have had many casual meetings with such lovely birds as Whinchats, now, if we encounter them at all, they tend to be on migration.
These Red Kites were taken at Dumfries and Galloway
