Tree Sparrow
Going out on my permitted exercise walk c0600is okay when the sun comes up in a cloudless sky! Unfortunately, on these two day, the mornings have dawned rather dull and cloudy. I go out early to avoid contact with people and achieve this very well, so shouldn't really complain! Downside of course, is dull light and high ISO for any images taken. It almost seems that spring is passing me by, but I haven't done too badly so far for migrants:
All of the migrant seabirds were seen before lockdown;
Sand Martin;
Green Sandpiper:
Willow Warbler;
Chiffchaff;
Wheatear;
Ring Ousel;
House Martin;
Yellow Wagtail;
Blackcap;
Common Whitethroat;
Swallow;
Sedge Warbler;
Lesser Whitethroat;
Plenty more to go!
This Willow Warbler was fresh in
It is always good to see a Wheatear, especially a male, just a pity it was distant!
Reed Bunting
Tree Sparrow
Yellowhammer
Brown Hare
Roe Deer Buck
Marsh Marigolds
Red Campion is widespread in this area, but in amongst you can find this
Question is, is it aberrant / leucistic Red Campion (if those terms apply to plants), or another type? I have been told it is a form of "catchfly", but any other information would be welcome!
Interestingly, as I write this, the sun is shining in a blue sky and the temperatures are very pleasant!
Please remember to stay safe and comply with current government instructions.
