CATCHING UP WITH THE LOCALS.

 I've finally managed to get some local birding done. 
These were taken at 2 of my favourite sites, 
Stithians Reservoir and Gothian Sands.

TWO WEEKS WORTH.



A selection of shots from the last 2 weeks. 
We did hear a Cuckoo and had a fleeting glance of Ring Ouzel
The Snowy Owl is just a record shot. It's the second we have seen in Cornwall in 8 years.

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.

Bits and Pieces

We spent nearly 4 hours sea-watching at Pendeen today (only the 3rd or 4th time we've done this) . No pictures, which is what we expected but we thoroughly enjoyed it and intend to do more. Got a couple of lifers into the bargain so that can't be bad.
John went to Stithians last weekend so here are some pictures from there and from around the garden and from when I've been walking the dog.
