A Light Lunch

The garden is a dangerous place to be today.  A male Sparrowhawk is making frequent visits, a Kestrel is knocking about, a Buzzard is a bit farther away (too distant for a decent photo) but best of all a Peregrine has taken up residence for the last few days.  A cooperative bird, it flew over calling while I was telling my neighbour to look out for it.  Better still, it was carrying its lunch.

Dunge

A day of strong, bitterly cold north-easterlies was challenging, but didn’t stop us having a good time at Dungeness.  Highlights were Glaucous, Caspian and Iceland Gulls, and our first male Smew for a few years.
