Hayle Estuary Wildlife

While waiting for many hours for the Osprey featured in the previous blog I spent much of my time snapping away on the variety of wildlife that passes through Hayle Estuary over time and decided to produce this additional blog of some of the images captured

Shell Duck.

Whimbrel.

Cormorant.

Little Egret.

Black-tailed Godwit

Grey Heron

Canada Goose

North Cornish Coast Today

The good weather promised for Cornwall for the bank holiday arrived earlier than expected this morning so I headed off for a coastal walk between Porth Nanven and the Crown Mines at Botallack.

Subjects worked on at Nanven included a pair of Kestrel,  Cornish Chough,  Whimbrel and a Rock Pipit predating on kelp flies

Botallack produced mating Kestrel and a montage image of a failed female Kestrel attack withdraw,

A first for me this year came by way of this delightful ever singing Whitethroat that was covering quite a large territory presumably still looking for a mate.

A lovely day out with a hint of what summer might bring for us this year !!
