Hi! Pauline, Buggy and Maximus, I think I've solved the Bird ID
I was in the Garden most of yesterday working, we sat down for a cuppa the weather was quite warm, when this bird landed on the suet balls again and would you believe it, it turned out to be a young Starling that was just getting it's adult feathers, the top half of him was cream and the rest speckled, strange thing was no other Starlings were with it , it was entirely on it's own both times.
Thanks Wurzel, I had a great time which you also seemed to have had
On Sunday we went to Mere Sands near Southport, we were going to Southport originally but the traffic was so heavy we turned back and headed there instead, it was a sunny day with a certain amount of cloud so ideal if we saw any thing.
We went for the meadow walk, which, to me, seems a bit strange when you can only go down a path at the side of the meadow because the gate to the meadow is locked

Flying in how ever from the Meadow were lots of Peacock's one in particular caught my eye because in stead of the bright blue it should have had in the spots on it's lower wings it just had white tiny spots. Also this Dragon fly landed just in the right spot for a photo

Darter I think! I also managed to get a shot of a Brimstone in the field quite a distance a way so not too bad a day
Yesterday has I said I was in the Garden, in between the the trimming etc, these two Small White's flew in and
landed in a spot where I could get a shot of them mating, nice surprise, then a Comma landed on the Budllia
and from that flew to some Astilbes that I'd just trimmed, it stayed there in the Sun for almost 30mins, I checked where it had been afterwards, no eggs! I also had a PeacockLarge Whites, even a Gate Keeper flew through and when I looked up into the sky this Sparrow Hawk (I think) was soaring round, another good day Goldie
