All these were taken in a private orchard in Truro except for 
the Yellow-Browed Warbler which was taken in Tehidy C.P.

Lapwing's lucky escape.

Not sure what the poor old Lapwing did to deserve this or maybe he is injured.
He seems to be struggling which alerted the Crow, who did his best to drown him.
The Spoonbill came over and the Crow flew off. The Spoonbill then did exactly the same.
Obviously he realised the Lapwing was too big and let him go.
I never knew that Spoonbills did this sort of thing.

LOCAL BIRDING

 Stayed fairly local this week so these were all taken at either Stithians or St. Clements.
Avocets have to be one of my favourite birds.

SEAL AT HAYLE.

 I WENT TO CARNSEW FOR THE SPOONBILL TODAY BUT IT KEPT IT'S DISTANCE.
INSTEAD HERE ARE SOME SHOTS OF A SEAL FROM THE HAYLE CAUSEWAY.
AS IT HAS A GREEN TAG ON IT'S FLIPPER, I SUSPECT IT IS ONE 
OF THE RECENT RELEASES FROM THE SEAL SANCTUARY.

HELSTON AND DRIFT

These shots were taken last week at Drift Reservoir and Helston.
The male Mandarin and his Leucistic female make an odd couple.
Most likely escapes but pretty none the less.
