Halcyon

Early morning sun on thistle and burdock. Moon clear overhead

Good to see a speckled wood today  The maize continues to grow Sea foaming this morning

It was a very grey morning and so I only took out a compact camera.  The North Road pheasant has regrown his tail feathers. Turnstones, still in summer plumage, on the beach A juvenile greater black backed gull surveying the beach

I like thistles, these giant ones are by the boating lakes. I thought there was a border collie to the left of the cafe, it is an ice cream sign, should have gone to Specsavers! Fishing boat in a pool of sunshine A wheatear on the sea defences Along with a meadow pipit Some brightness on a grey day

Sedge and reed warblers at the lagoon this morning. On reflection. The maize is growing. A mint moth in the garden

I bought a bench recently in honour of my father, mother and brother.  It is next to the paddle boat pond, it is good to see it being used.

I meant to post this a few days ago.  It is a hover fly that closely resembles a wasp on the eryngium.

Seven turnstones on the sea wall yesterday.  It is surprising how camouflaged they are agains the seaweed in their summer plumage.

A rare migrant on the boating lake posts. A crude oil tanker 5 nautical miles off the coast. Early morning activities on the beach at Easton Bavents.

Yesterday was regatta day at the boating lakes. Click here for more pictures.

Reed and sedge warblers still feeding and whitethroat up at Easton Bavents. From the shape of the arch I would say these are Norman rabbits Looks like stag’s horns

Families of reed and sedge warblers feeding on the reeds this morning.
