Webs again (Wetland Bird Survey BTO) where birds using the beach at East Haven and inshore waters off the coast are recorded, not all birds seen on the beach such as Greenfinches and House Sparrows they are not recorded. Some species appear on my lists that were included before the system changed some years ago.
Note, at some point I accidentally switched from Auto focus to Manual and I had to delete what would/could have been good photos. I'm not saying "I'll never do that again" I'm getting old and my mind wanders....
Goldeneye female near its nest on Loch Garten
Yellow Wagtail near East Haven, the only photo I managed of the male of a pair seen due to my incompetence. The bird was near enough the focus point by chance, not skill
Tree Sparrow, the photo taken before I nudged the Auto/Manual which led to many photos being out of clear focus. It was on the wires at the car park
Meadow Pipit with Craneflies
The Swallows were collecting mud from a field to build their nest
House Sparrow, many of them are seen in the brambles that grow along the railway line in the village
Redpoll, from Loch Garten. This was an orphan photo while visiting Kingussie
The wind was keeping the butterflies in sheltered areas, including this Small White
Sandwich Terns announced their arrival with their distinctive calls, around 17 were there with a few Common Terns
Grey Heron, this photo confirms they are just a bag of bones and feathers
19 Ringed Plover, as expected when they were flushed by walkers they continued their northward migration flight, 4 Dunlin remained along with 3 Turnstones. I could hear a single Whimbrel calling but couldn't find it as it flew away with the Curlews
