saw a great free(!) demo by Wings of Wales @fofcreservoirs.bsky.social on Saturday. Went to pub after, saw ladybird on floor so raised my arm like you’d do to summon a hawk and it flew to me. Guess i’m like Antman now
i summoned a ladybird onto my hand. Not sure what special powers this means i’ve got Wings of Wales demonstrator man, taking an owl out of his van A Harris Hawk perched on a tree stump, waiting for food

A great crested grebe, a type of waterfowl, is shown in profile as it floats on rippling blue water. The bird has a long white neck, a grey and brown body, and distinctive dark brown and reddish-brown plumes extending around its head. Its red eye is visible as it appears to preen its chest with its dark beak. The bird's reflection is visible in the water below. A great crested grebe, a striking waterfowl with a reddish-brown and white neck, dark back, and prominent black and reddish-brown crest, floats serenely on rippling blue water. The bird is positioned slightly to the left of the frame. A single great crested grebe swims on a calm, light blue body of water, creating gentle ripples. The bird faces left, showcasing its striking reddish-orange and black neck plumage, a sharp white beak tipped with black, and a distinctive black crest on its head. Its body is a mix of dark gray feathers on the back and lighter, fluffy feathers underneath. The reflection of the grebe is visible in the water below. A great crested grebe with a striking black and reddish-brown head is perched on a nest of green vegetation near the water's edge, attentively looking at a single white egg in the nest.

A trip to Lisvane and Llanishen Reservoirs, Cardiff, gave me the opportunity to photograph Swifts for the very first time. Very challenging to keep them in the viewfinder as they twist and turn hunting for insects. Very pleased with the results of my efforts. 🪶 #birdingwales #ukbirding
