What you looking at?
What a beautiful day!!!! Really gorgeous isn't it hey?
With the flat seas, I started at Branscombe today, and was treated to two Black-throated Divers sat on the sea (1 flew in from the west). Very nice, my first for over a month. And I did double check - neither of them showed any obvious features of Pacific Diver!! 4 Canade Geese flew west here and an alba Wagtail came in/off.
Along the river there were only a handful of Gulls, but did include a certain Herring Gull that I have seen on three different occasions in the last week or so (see picture) and 6 Lesser Black-backed Gulls including 1 intermedius.
Had a nice little surprise besides Colyford Water Treatment Works with 2 cracking adult male White Wagtails feeding on the 'Water Pipit field', with two Pied Wags.
Pics:
1. A comparison of single intermedius and graellsii Lesser Black-backed Gulls, I couldn't quite fit them in one frame when taking the photo, so had to do a bit of cutting and pasting!
2. An Oystercatcher behaving like an Ostrich!
3. The Herring Gull!
4. A record pic of one of the White Wags.
Can I just mention, whenever opening up a photo, make sure to maximise the window the photo is in, makes the quality better.
