About The Patch


Aside from Swifts above, a few other things of note while failing to find anything sexier than a Stonechat [sorry]


Some sort of flower
that grows hereabouts*


I tried an evening seawatch [spurred on by the hope of maybe finally seeing a nice Arctic Skua this year {of even a Bonxie??}] and was rewarded with 2 Puffins [don't be envious, they were bill to tail, 1km out, and flying past as fast as their whirring little wings could carry them...] and 14 Manxies in an hour.

Worth a try, anyway.


Also, close inshore,

A tad weathered...

A handful of Kittiwakes, fishing in the Lead Stone channel. 52 passed by further out in something of a passage.

Looking less like a BHG


Perhaps the most interesting sighting was this little group;

Mute Swans.
NE of the Lead Stone.

Nope, no idea either.

More pics of things in slightly better focus,

Gromwell

Wood Spurge

Borage

Plum Tortrix

Cut-leaved Cranesbill



Still hoping for something nice [which will stay put for the camera]






Be Seeing You...
