Two of several Rooks strung up as a form of modern witchcraft to scare away any potential corvid visitors. How is this legal in the UK in the 21st Century?

Slavonian Grebe, Crowland

This is just fourth time in 16 years I have seen Slavonian Grebe in the Peterborough area. It was found on the channel of the River Welland along what is known as the Deeping High Bank, not far from Crowland, Lincolnshire. In these shots it was a few hundred yards upstream of the bridge with the white water tower where Shaggy the Shag roosted a few months back. It wasn't particularly bothered by humans, but Great Crested Grebes made it very jittery.

Siberian Accentor at Easington, East Yorkshire

The last two photos were from when it was raining heavily on Sunday and seeking shelter behind the skip between bouts of feeding on seed.
