Exercise Walks in May 2020

Sedge Warbler belting out it's song

Another grand morning with sunshine, blue sky and mild with only a light breeze. The day started well with a male Blackcap in the garden briefly. The local Mistle Thrushes look about ready to fledge which is good as they have well outgrown their nest! Buckton pond is nearly dry with nothing more than a puddle, surrounded by deeply cracked mud, remaining.

On the mud, a Pied Wagtail serviced its young...






Yellowhammers continue to further brighten the mornings...


Skylarks are abundant, singing out...



Sedge Warblers are heard regularly but can be challenging to photograph! Today, I was lucky with this showy bird belting out it's song...




Spectacular as the cliffs and seabirds are, I couldn't really find any opportunities to excite me! The nearest I came were these feisty Gannet images...
