ducks in a row

I am not sure what type of water fowl these were. There are mallards in the middle ground and sheep safely grazing. Poor lamb to be consumed so by one so consumed by life.

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.
