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.

Norfolk - part 2

Here are some of the bird shots from Norfolk,taken mostly in the rain. You can see 3 extra pairs of legs underneath the female Avocet. These Spoonbills were breeding in Norfolk.

Avocets

As you may have noticed we have put nothing up for a couple of weeks. Sue's been working overtime and I've been having camera trouble. We did go to Exminster at the week-end and the Marshes were frozen as was most of the land around Powderham. The Avocets were taken at Topsham but most of the mudflats were frozen, keeping everything at a distant.

A weeks birding.

We haven't done much birding since getting back from Gambia, but here are some shots taken over the last week or so, Mostly from St.Clements, Hayle and Marazion. Is this Warbler a Chiffchaff? It's not a very good image but the underparts and throat were very white, not at all buffish. Seems a lot of white for a Chiffy.







These 2 Buzzards were hunting together at St. Gothian Sands. Not sure if they are a pair or

an adult with a young one.

Included this shot of the Moon just because I like it. Sue
