A "Watching Paint Dry" hour at Thornwick Pool!

"Me and my shadow!"

I headed out to Thornwick Pool, Flamborough this morning with high hopes of some good birds. I think the term "watching paint dry" would sum up my experience! I stayed an hour, hoping that something would drop in - but it didn't! Even the Dunlin had cleared off just before my arrival! These three Teal just about sum up the excitement -


But then........................we had movement!


And then, normality was restored!


I was beside myself when this Moorhen walked towards me!


And almost "orgasmic" when a Kestrel appeared!



After an hour, I needed to go home and lay down in a dark room, with a cold compress, I was so excited!

Being a procrastinator, there is always manana!
