Birding Backwards Again. Pt.1, They're Heeeere!


Being on Nights and actually getting my act vaguely in the region of together, I patrolled the Patch this very afternoon, seeking amongst the leafy and far too well off bits for what I could find sheltering inland a bit. Such as the slight slight teeny tiny possibility of a Yellow-browed Warbler.


I didn't find one, of course.

Or anything else much sexier than a Nuthatch. Not that there's anything wrong with Nuthatches.


I got down to the Real Living Coast and defied the far shootier-than-forecast wind to check for, well, these guys;


Purple Sands!

Adult and two juvs, note differences in plumage and bare parts.

Lovely!

Also, in a more sheltered area, 8 of these;

Peckconcretes
[You can't turn it]
[[I'll get my coat...]]


Ahem.

There is a Nuthatch
in the photo.

Really.

3 Oyks, 2 Mute Swans, and an alba Wagtail, but nothing other than the odd gull messing about in the big SE swell.


As it's all Autumn and so on, here's some funguses.

Shaggy Inkcaps



And finally, this down at the Harbour,

Yeah, really.


There is a sign already [out of shot to the left] saying 'Don't fish on the inshore side'. They then added the lower sign, right in front of you, so to speak. Then put a bigger sign above it, with a picture for the hard of reading. Now they're bolted a fence in place to block people off from fishing in the one place they're not allowed to.
You just know someone's going to be casting around that corner.....





Be Seeing You...
