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!).

Week-end at Tehidy Woods,Gothian Sands and Marazion Marsh.

ON A SAD NOTE: Last year I was lucky enough to take photos of a Peregrine family that were nesting below the viaduct that I was working on, they had 4 young. This year they only reared 2 and unfortunately one of the parents and one of the young were found dead on the track, having been hit by a train, an all too common occurrence but it is usually Buzzards.

Is this a strange coloured female of the Common Blue?

Thought this pattern was Interesting.
