A cathode day - look it up and learn something


Obviously I'm under restrictions, but because I know the land around here well, the access points, paths and popular places, so far I'm almost avoiding seeing other people. To be honest, that's nothing new, when bird-watching and more so when a camera is present it's not useful to have people (dogs) around scaring the wildlife. Ask Olive, who is subject to what she thinks are arbitrary rules on where to walk, which side, how slow or fast, and the pink jacket! Sounds paranoid, but just imagine sitting for an hour waiting for the Avocet you're stalking to wander over to where you're hiding and someone from nowhere says, "seeing anything interesting".......Avocet flies away

Still trying to ID the fox in the video as last years vixen, failed so far.

Fulmars on my alternative exercise route, it's a good route where it's rare to see anyone and especially now I've found an inaccessible hide out
