DESERT WHEATEAR at PORTHGWARRA


I finally went down to Porthgwarra for the Desert Wheatear and then 
spent a couple of hours birding around Penzance and Longrock.
Not a lot about but still a nice way to spend the afternoon.

IN THE GARDEN.

These Bullfinches have been visiting the garden regularly but 
 it was a nice surprise to find a large Stick Insect.

A NEW ADDITION.

We have a new addition to the family. She is an 8 week old Boxer X Collie called Gracie.
We lost Rosie, our 6 year-old white Boxer some time ago
and have really missed having a dog in the house.
