Tamar images

the same scene as last week but with the benefit of bright Spring sunlight.

flocking sight

I thought at first that this was a large gathering of buzzards, but it was probably gulls of some sort catching a thermal as the wind got up in the afternoon.

more grey wagtail

a chance close encounter with the grey wagtail on a little stream running into the Lynher.

orange tip feeding

an orange tip butterfly feeding on May (April?) flowers. For the first time I noticed the dainty brown tips to the orange.

bitter vetch

a view reinforced by the appearance of bitter vetch in the hedgerows.

more than one

there were lots of swallows around today at Beals Mill, so I think we can officially announce that summer is in.
