Roe Deer Buck
The cool wind has gone, the sun is shining and the sky is blue! Certainly not a typical combination for a bank holiday on the coast! Then again, nature wouldn't understand the change from a Monday to a Friday (in order to celebrate VE75).
I have to say that I have never managed to get as close to a Roe Deer as I did this morning! I expected the deer to charge off as soon as he spotted me, but no, this buck stood and looked at me, at one point actually walked towards me! Fantastic animal!
If only the birds were as obliging! All of the expected species were seen, with Yellow Wagtail and my first Garden Warbler being heard. Six Lesser Whitethroats were either seen or heard, Corn Buntings numbered six, one Blackcap, three Sedge Warblers and best of the day, my first Whinchat.
Corn Bunting
Sedge Warbler
Colourful Reed Bunting!
If only this Lesser Whitethroat would've turned around!
A slightly different view!
All of the breeding seabirds were present in varying numbers, but there were very few Fulmars again.
Puffins
Puffins can be very difficult to spot!
Kittiwake
Guillemot
Razorbills (with the cloacal kiss!)
And finally, a little bit of colour, because I liked it! (Red Campion with Gorse)
