These birds were seen during a couple of days’ stay in Ludlow earlier this month. It’s a little bit further afield than most postings, but it would just about have been possible to see them on a day trip. The jackdaw, above, was one of the flock in the centre of town, around the church. – This one was on the corner of the roof of Hosyer’s Alms-houses by the church – evidently a regular perch.
A swan feeding by Casemill Weir on the river Tame gave an unusual angle of view.
This swallow on a phone line appeared to be thinking: perhaps about the approaching flight south.
And this young heron was fishing from Mill Street Weir.
