One recurring theme was the male Kestrel (Falco Tinnunculus) (half of the wild pair who nest every year to the side of Reg's Wild Flower Meadow in a 'barn owl' nest box...) who was defending his territory no matter who he considered to be intruding.
The male about to stoop upon the unsuspecting prey...
...who turns out to be "Othello" the African Fish Eagle...
...and then a wild Red Kite (Milvus Milvus).
I was quite pleased with this (either "Test" or "Avon", the most common Barn Owls (Tyto Alba) flown at the trust)
"Achilles" the Little Owl behaved himself for a while
"Troy" the rescued Tawny Owl (Strix Aluco) was also reasonably proficient
and it was pleasant to see the bluebells out, despite their best condition being long gone!
