MARAZION AND GOTHIAN SANDS

I HAVE ONLY BEEN OUT A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS 

AND THERE IS NOTHING VERY DIFFERENT AROUND. 

IT IS STARTING TO BECOME QUIETER AND SOON IT WILL BE 

THE BUTTERFLIES AND DRAGONFLIES, ALTHOUGH WE

 HAVEN'T GIVEN UP HOPE OF A CUCKOO FOR THIS YEAR.

THESE WERE TAKEN AT EITHER MARAZION BEACH OR GOTHIAN SANDS.

CATCHING UP.

Here are a few shots from the last couple of weeks.The Great White Egret is some way off. 

The Ring Ouzel would also have been closer had it not been for an elderly couple who 

flushed them after I had spent ages creeping up on them (the birds not the couple!).
