WEEK ENDING 30/04/2015.

Just a quick round up of a few trips from the last week to Marazion, Hayle and Falmouth,as this morning I am going down to the Lizard to set up our annual Ham Radio Station at the Marconi Museum on Bass Point to commemorate Marconi's  birthday.
Would you believe it wind and rain are forecast, so could be an interesting few hours putting up 30ft masts in those conditions.
Anyway I will give an update next week as to how things go, so  The images below were all taken on various trips to the above places during the past week.

A selection of images from the past week, good to see some warmer weather and a few smaller species giving the Macro setup its first outing for the year.
So really looking forward to see what turns up in front of the lens in the coming months.

OVER THE MOON 07/04/2015.

Sorry about the weird title and the lack of posts lately, Have not done very much birding over the last few weeks,and the couple of times I have been out its been so cold all the birds have stayed low.
But today it was still chilly , but did make the effort to get out, and I'm glad as I finally managed to get the shot I have been waiting for the past Fifteen years.
Its of a Cetti's Warbler, these reside at Marazion Marsh and all you normally get to see is a split second view as it flits from one bush to another. This morning this one popped up onto a bramble for a few seconds, and although I got off about ten shots only three were of any good and all of a similar pose.
So finally I have got one in the bag and I'm chuffed to bits.
The Wheatear was on Hayle Estuary where we stopped off on the way to Marazion.

This Peacock Butterfly was around the garden all afternoon yesterday and was very obliging as it soaked up the Suns warmth.
