CATCHING UP.

 This is our first posting for six weeks and are just some local shots taken over the last few days.

 Although we have had a few technical issues, it must be said that since our return

 from Bulgaria we are finding it hard to get back into it. Must try harder!!

 We saw this Lizard basking on a log at Croft Pascoe, it was no more than an inch and a half long.

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.

Ryan's Field and Land's End.

Nice to see some birds for a change, although we didn't get the Wryneck we hoped for.
These Sandwich Terns were taken at Ryan's Field, as was the Common Sandpiper.
The Ruff and Wheatear were taken at St. Gothian Sands.

This Common Darter took a fancy to John.
