Delayed News

Google are still being total shits about letting me log in. Word to the wise; if you ever move, just delete your account and start a new one, as otherwise they will be convinced that you've been hacked and don't even have the capacity to listen to you tell them otherwise [as in, there is no actual way to complain, you only have a list of problems you can choose from...]



May the darkness take them.







Ahem.



Ok, so Sunday...  [yes it really takes time to log in these days...]

I got down to the Nose in the evening - just loving the flexibility  :D - hoping for passerines emerging after spending the day cowering from the hordes, and maybe a feeding party of terns or Manxies offshore.

I got a few resident migrant warblers onshore and nether tern nor shearwater offshore, but I did get a treat! A few Kitts and Gannets  [6 and 8 in 15 minutes] were passing casually as what looked at first like thick haze turned into proper sea fog, but then heading the other way.. Pom!!! Lovely adult light morph, [big breast band meant probably a female] cruised by inside the Ore Stone and was stunning in the low warm sunshine.. :) It had a quick look at a passing Kitt, but in that way predators and prey have of communicating that there's nothing doing, it was only one 45° shift each before both kept going. [has anybody ever studied that, I wonder?] A few minutes later, a dark morph Arctic Skua also went by north, though further out.

By the time I got home, the mist was just starting to pour inland through the gaps in the hills - very Stephen King ;)

That night, a very vocal Tawny Owl spent about half an hour seemingly right outside my bathroom window. I was in no way displeased with this! [Though the local passerines might be!]



Finally...

If you're reading this in europe and before the polls close, please do get out and vote [if you can]. It doesn't matter who you vote for - this is the EU, folks! - just as long as you do. Even if it is only to write 'None of these idiots' on the ballot, it matters that you express yourself. Go on, exercise that franchise..






Be Seeing You


Sometime..
