Hartland Moor

Over 50 Yellow Wags feeding in fields in and around Stud Farm

Not more dudey garden bird shite!

Ahh, isnt that cute

Oh and look, some lovely butterflies

Close up of above lovely butterfly

Prunella caprimulgus. Although if it keeps up this habit I dont expect it will be passing any of its odd genes on!

This young Swallow managed to find its way into the conservatory but wasnt allowed out until it posed for the camera

Portland

Not much doing today, this Willow Warbler reminded me of a Bee-eater. After catching this wasp like thing it flew to this branch and proceeded to whack it on the said branch, possibly to get the sting out although it could have been just to kill it.

Smart Med at Ferrybridge

More garden birds

Young Starling showing mix of adult and young feathers. One of the easiest birds to follow in terms of moult progress.

Young Dunnock

Hinkley

Followed this Wheatear along the sea wall as it flitted along in response to my approach. After doing this about 5 or 6 times it eventually gave up and stayed put allowing me to get my shot and leave it alone!

One of the local Peregrines nesting on the Power Station, looking a bit tatty now

There was a steady movement of Herring Gulls overhead with the odd LBB

This Grey Heron dived to low altitude to escape harrasment by a couple of the local Herring Gulls

Starting to get a bit cloudy now

Great Spots

Juvenile and adult Great Spots visited garden today

Dunge Day 2

Early start to look for Night Herons! They had been reported a couple of times about a month ago. Bit of a long shot I suppose.

This Little Owl was way past its bedtime, having a 'morning' on the tiles!

Down to the Patch where there were 3 juv Yellow-legged Gulls

Juv YLG and juv Med together

2nd S Little Gull at ARC pit

Another go at photographing the Plover this morning but it was in exactly the same place although certainly more active than yesterday

One Show camera crew getting too close to the Purple Heron nest site



One flight again only this morning.
