RAPTORS at Radipole

I took Dad to RSPB Radipole in hope of seeing the Bearded Tits; neither of us had seen one before. The day started by driving out of a sunny Devon and into a slightly dull Dorset! Upon our arrival we were reliably informed that we'd missed out on a close up sighting of a male Bearded Tit by about 20 minutes. Rather than waiting for their return, we had a look around the reserve and was rewarded with some nice views of raptors. Here's a few of the pics:

Pics of the Bearded Tits will be here shortly...
