Last week

Last week finished with a Marsh Harrier, and this week begun with the same, although the photos are a bit better.  Clocked this one near Martham.









With the rough weather during the week, seawatching became rewarding for a couple of days.  Lots of Terns, Common Scoter, Gannets, a fair few Whimbrel and a Black-tailed Godwit.  Here is one of the Common Terns in the murk.


This little critter needed reference books initially as I thought it may have been a funny looking Dunlin, but in the end this shot clearly shows the jizz of a Purple Sandpiper, not a patch tick but I do like Purple Sandpipers.


It is July so butterfly pictures have to do when the birds don't show.  This Common Blue was struggling in the wind and if I knew how to operate my phone properly it may have ended up on a selfie when it landed on my face.


Saturday was proving unproductive until this happened!

Last week with the lens...

Snapped a Jay doing anting from the kitchen window.

Saw a Swan at the local park...

...where the coots were not fighting for once...


...and then got to work on a feather...


Found some gulls.



Friday turned autumnal with a load of Med Gulls on the patch, and a porpoise or two in the sea.


And all nicely rounded up with a Marsh Harrier.  Well it is Norfolk...
