Nice to see some birds for a change, although we didn't get the Wryneck we hoped for. These Sandwich Terns were taken at Ryan's Field, as was the Common Sandpiper. The Ruff and Wheatear were taken at St. Gothian Sands.
Great captures! Especially of John's new friend! I had a Variable Darner try to land on my face the other day (twice!) and because of it's size, I couldn't help but pull away as it approached to closely! He did good to stand still and let darter land. I've never seen a curlew, but we have whimbrels pass through during the fall migration, a close relative. ~karen

ReplyDeleteI like the dragonfly in the forehead. nice one.
ReplyDeleteA perfect perching spot for the dragonfly. Wonderful photo series! They are all fantastic but I especially love the pretty Wheatear.
ReplyDeleteLovely selection of shots particulary like the Ruff shot and the Darter.
ReplyDeleteNice masala of pictures, John and Sue.
ReplyDeleteSandwich Tern is a rare visitor here, and I'd love to see one. I take that butterfly is Comma.
Thank you all for your comments,sorry forgot to name images,so yes to your question Gallicissa it is indeed a Comma.
