Everything's Looking Rosy.

These images were digi-scoped over the past week. The Rats came out when I was photographing the Med. Gull and were not at all nervous, scavenging for bread within three feet of me. 
The Starling was in Morrisons carpark and is not the prettiest of birds, but nice to see.

BIRDING at PENDEEN.

We had a great day yesterday at Pendeen, with migrants blown in and 
others like the Flycatchers waiting to fly out. 
We saw a Wryneck but didn't get a photo, but while John was busy digiscoping the Shrike,
 which was too far off for my camera, I did manage to get a Snow Bunting.

The Last 2 Weeks.


We have had terrible computer problems, all fixed now, hence the lack of posts.
We thought we had better get something up or you'll all think we're dead and buried.
John's taken these over the last few weeks.
