More Patchy Stuff. Pt 1

In which not a lot new happens, but never mind, eh? It's the effort that counts. Well, sort of.



Last week I found myself in Towne, so I had a look along the pier

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

One of eight Purple Sands along the real living coast.

Turnstone

Turnstones

9 about, 8 scurrying on the slipway and one asleep with the sands..

Pied Wagtail

Rump concolourous with tail [it's nice when they pose for you]

London Bridge

Those of you of a geological mindest may observe the variations in dip [and strike, for that matter] of the bedding planes in view. You may well wonder about foreshortening a little, and faulting a lot :)

Back in the streets

Green Alkanet

Blackbird FF

[that's carrying food / faecal sac, btw;

in other words, with hatched young!]

Blue Tit

"Put that camera down and give me some more worms!"

Coal Tit

Candyfloss onna stick

Long-tailed Tit

Leopard Slug!

Woodpigs!

Those - 96 by my count - were heading north, cutting across the peninsula. Not often you get northbound 'pig hordes [or indeed many of them, they usually pass inland of the Patch.]

English Scurvygrass

Greater Stitchwort

Portland Spurge 

[leaves obovate with mucro]

What a lovely melange, there.

Probably going to be quite a lot more like this coming, but I do still have some stuff from the Olde Dayes Ofe Yore Whene Wee Coulde Goe Oute..  [Ahem.] to come. Eventually!
