Norfolk Hawker and Waders at Winterton

There are several small ponds in the dunes at Winterton adn one had a very obliging Green-eyed (Norfolk) Hawker, shot here at 1/2000th with mechanical shutter. Along the shoreline were several dunlin and ringed Plover, the latter with young. Spiders and seals completed the wildlife parade.

 

Ducklings Versus Midges, Shropshire

 Yesterday's sunshine brought out the midges in their thousands at Venus Pools. The Mallard ducklings had great fun catching them. It was also good to see a Little Ringed Plover on one of the scrapes together with Oystercatchers.
