ON A SAD NOTE: Last year I was lucky enough to take photos of a Peregrine family that were nesting below the viaduct that I was working on, they had 4 young. This year they only reared 2 and unfortunately one of the parents and one of the young were found dead on the track, having been hit by a train, an all too common occurrence but it is usually Buzzards.

Is this a strange coloured female of the Common Blue?

Thought this pattern was Interesting.

Sad news on the Peregrines, on a brighter note another good varied selection of images. Looking at your macros you would have a great time getting shots at Porthgwarra, butterflies and insects etc in abundance at present
ReplyDeleteLovely selection of images I love the swallow family.Looks like Peregrines have had a bad year in Cornwall given what happened at St.Anthony and heard an adult at Hor point went missing before the breeding season.
ReplyDeleteSad news for the peregrine, but what a post... I sign for the stonechat, the swallow family, the frog shot, the little grebe (these are my favorite shots, they are gorgeous!!!) and the wren!! You got superb shots there, well done...
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob,might go on Saturday,also thank you Anthony and Chris.
ReplyDeleteI think in the long run they will return,fingers crossed.
