Splashy not doing splashy

This particular groyne configuration is known to many, and often lends itself to very splashy photos.  Especially when the Turnstones move in for the winter.  In order to illustrate this, I have not done that.

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Well if it's good enough for Jimi...

Stuff goes on

The Red Arrows flew over my head.  I had the camera ready by the time they flew into the distance.

Starlings sit on posts.

I visit an 'installation' and like an Owl.

Wheatear

Yummy.

How to write a blog post about birds.

I was sitting there and this bird lands by me.  

So I took a photo.

And then it flew off.

So I sat there for a bit more, and another bird lands by me.  

So I took a photo.

And then it flew off.

There.  Your bird blogging masterclass is complete.

No, thank you.

Patch Kestrel

Here's a Kestrel that is hanging about the patch at the moment.

Garden Fox

Not bad for ISO6400

Meadow Petrel

I've never seen this before but am ready for a chorus of 'it happens all the time and you might notice it more if you stopped pining after foxes'.  Anyhow, these Meadow Petrels Pipits were hovering over the sea to catch flies I assume. Only did it for a minute or so, but it didn't look like it was an accident. I'll spend a bit more time with them tomorrow to see if they do it again. 

 The final shot is what one of them was doing about 20 minutes earlier.

Peregrines

A few Peregrine shots from the last week or so, all taken at Norwich Cathedral.

Barn Owl on the commute

Found a Barn Owl on the way to work on Monday.  Took some photos.

Yes, this is what my commute looks like.

Not a bad start to the week...
