Some periodic ramblings about bird, butterflies, moths, dragonflies, hovers and anything else that pops into my head.

What day is it?? No idea!!
So, above are Oystercatcher and Common Tern, first BHG chicks, Common Tern with a snack, four of sixteen Turnstones and three Black'wits.
Another brief jaunt to Hill Head where a very low tide and no wind ensured no wind surfers but still plenty of camper vans parked up. God, what I'd give for a coffee and cooked brekkie!! Offshore a male Common Scoter was preening and a Gannet was diving very distantly off the Isle of Wight. Within the reserve just the above stuff, a few Reed Warblers and Linnets but with no wind the Swifts from the previous visit had moved away.
The BHGs, Common Terns and Oystercatchers were kept on their guard by a prowling, predatory Lesser Black.
Chatted to Tony and home by 10:00 am.
