but still breezy. 
This Dragonfly was quite accommodating although the focus is not very sharp.

This bird has always eluded my camera.  This morning I heard the distinctive whistle and am happy

It is brown & fairly large - I have not been able to make out the colour of the beak and feet .  It has taken a neighbour's dog on a previous visit, and has swooped down on a friend's dog while she was right there in the garden herself!   Not shy....
