GREAT TIT & CHAFFINCH.

A couple of images taken on a early visit to Tehidy  Country Park with my Granddaughter and Grandson last Friday morning.
The birds here can be very confiding as the area attracts a lot of visitors, this image is of Emily with a Great Tit taking seed from her, Sadly Taylor would not keep his hand still for long enough to get some shots, but I suppose boys will be boys.
The Chaffinch was on a nearby branch but would not come to hand, after a short time we were hit with a very heavy rain and hail shower and had to make a dash for the car.

SLAVONION GREBE & GREAT GRESTED GREBE 20/02/2014

A little late getting this post on as I have had a few other things to do, the images were from a trip to Stithians Res last week.

Also I do check my visitor stats regularly an on the  20th & 21st I saw that an unidentified visitor had trolled through the whole of my blog and archive over that two day period.
I did a check on the IP address which was 162.220.58.188 and found it belongs to hosting website near Wichita USA, I cannot tell if this was someone just looking or if my images have been hacked, but it is most unusual for someone to go through the whole of my blog in two massive visits over a few hours.
I wonder if anyone else has noticed anything unusual, I would be interested to know.

If anyone is interested you can check IP addresses at http://www.ip-tracker.org/locator/ip-lookup.php

HELLS MOUTH, MARAZION & HAYLE.

A few images from last Sunday and Tuesday, on Sunday it was a lovely afternoon so my wife and I went for a walk along St Georges Walk, at Copperhouse Creek  Hayle, and along the new development at North Quay. It was very crowded at times as everyone wanted to get out and enjoy the lovely weather.
So the last four images are from Sunday,also the Meadow Pipit was taken at Hell's Mouth on a drive back along the coast road.
The other three bird images were taken on Tuesday on a birding trip to Penzance and Marazion, I did manage a couple of year ticks, a Surf Scoter at Penzance and a Cetti's Warbler at Marazion.

GOLDENEYE LITTLE GREBE & SHOVELER 14/02/2014.

Well we are still being ravaged by Atlantis Storms, so any photo opportunities are few and far between at the moment.
Did manage to get out for a couple of brief periods this week to Stithians Res and Brian and I made a trip up to Wadebridge on Tuesday.
So just a few images from the trips.
