Arrived safely in the UK (Heathrow) following a long flight from Brisbane, via Bangkok. Beautiful sunny day in Cheddington, Bucks & just perfect for a lunch time picnic in the garden! Not a cloud in the sky and 17 degrees C.
Be back in a few days with a few photos to share :-)

Cute little Owlet :-)
Pearl-Spotted Owlet
This little owl was easily seen bird in the late afternoon near the banks of the Chobe River.
The pearl-spotted owlet (Glaucidium perlatum), which breeds in Africa south of the Sahara, is small (19 cm) and stocky, with a longish tail. The upper-parts are rich brown, heavily spotted with white. The underparts are white, streaked with brown.
They often hunt by day, and can be often spotted as the small birds mob it while it is perched in a tree. It hunts a variety of small prey, including birds.
