Roe Deer Buck at speed
A much better morning with sunshine, blue sky and the feel of warmth now that the north wind has abated. Wildlife wise, a quiet morning with no real changes.
Looking towards a local sheep field, I spotted flapping wings that I thought was a hovering Owl, but when I lifted my bins, it was Curlews mating!
The local ponds now have several pairs of Canada Geese with varying numbers of goslings...
Still the most numerous summer migrant in the area is the Common Whitethroat...
I love seeing the Roe Deer on my walks, but sometimes they need a keen eye to spot...
But should they spot or sense you, they are off at speed...
This Yellow Wagtail appeared at the top of a bush, but would not let me get any closer...
Meadow Pipits
Wren
Sedge Warbler
Yellowhammer
Chaffinch
At this time of year, immature Gannets appear on and around the cliffs. This is a year 2 Gannet...
Mature Gannet (5yrs+)
Puffins were few this morning, but I managed to capture this one on its morning break...
And Kittiwakes continue with their nest building...
At first, I couldn't make out a strange shape in the old potato field. Closer inspection revealed Mr & Mrs Mallard...
Please stay safe and follow all of the governments current instructions.
