It's a Common Sexton Beetle that basically goes around consuming dead things, not seen many in my life time, it landed on a feeding station our local club set up in a forest nearby.

Interesting, Burnie. I've heard of them but never seen one.

Just looking at that one clip, flikr dumped 27 cookies on me. Probably shan't look at any more, sorry.

I've not heard of that before, sorry about that, I shall use youtube vids instead and hope they don't do the same.

Beautiful, Burnie. Dramatic composition. Looks like a portal to another place.

He didn't stay long, flushed off by the dog

Out of the window the other morning. I should have kept it running longer. The parakeet scared it off.

Fantastic, Danny. Brilliant array of feeders. What do you have in them. I presumed they only ate bugs, not seeds. Obviously mistaken.

Woodpeckers will feed on peanuts and fat balls, even rolls of bread(our local bird club has a hide and feeder station in our local forest and I have seen this
). This video has a GSW at the end, it nearly ate some lard, but it was frightened off.

No photo I’m afraid but we had 7 blackbirds and 4 thrushes tucking into the piles of rotting apples in the garden.
Don't think I’ve ever seem so many of either before…and certainly not together!

[Containergardener]

Wasn't quick enough to get a picture but saw a heron on this mornings walk. Maybe a returner for nesting.
