A Surprise Awakening

I was rudely but not unwelcomely awoken this morning by the dulcet tones of a foghorn*.


Only a birder would be prompted to bounce out of bed with a "Woohoo!" at this, but I did and to the Nose I scuttled.


There were a few migrants grounded, and a whole two of them were Willow Warblers. One even started singing when the sun burned the mistyfog off..

Also once things got sunny, Swallows started coming in/off! AT LAAAAAAAST!!


Ahem.

Also in/off were Mipits, Goldfinches, Woodpigs, a pipit sp., another pipit sp., and finally a definite calling Tripit! :D

The air was full of birdsong, but none of it from Whitethroats :(  It was also full of the, er, 'song' of the Guilles on the Ore Stone - which remained a black shadow in the remains of the mist - audible from the road, but then 400-odd auks make a fair noise. At least the wind was offshore..

I did see a few pretty things, and some even stopped long enough to zap.
Yup, here we go;

Actually Posed.

A little further inland, greenery also posed for the camera;

Throwing Out Some New Leaves

There were no visible Wheatears, and no sign of any scoter off the Buoy Farm.




Be Seeing You..
