The Kingfishers are now very busy feeding chicks so lots of opportunities for pictures. They always wash straight after leaving the hole but guessing where they will dive is very difficult.

St Peter Port Guernsey
A few photos from my last day in Guernsey on Wednesday. A reminder of the traffic hazards and of Les Cotils Centre where we held our workshops. Otherwise images of a very photogenic town on a perfect blue-sky day. We returned to rain in England and it hasn't really stopped since!
Thanks to everyone who made it such an easy task to run the course and hope to see you again in the not-too-distant future.

Flowers in Guernsey
A few flower portraits from my very enjoyable visit to Guernsey.
Many thanks to my hosts Jan and David for making me so comfortable and to Carl and all the Guernsey photographers for making us so welcome. I will be back!
Some more photos to follow when time to process them more thoroughly

Herm Island
Perfect day to visit Herm with blue skies and light winds. A few shots to show the scenery and then some from a trip on the Bumblebee to view the Puffins in the evening. It was cloudy by then but this gave ideal conditions for some pictorial shots of these birds and Shags.

Birds on Lihou Island
The causeway was exposed yesterday afternoon so we walked across onto Lihou Island which is at its best at the moment covered with bluebells and thrift and full of breeding gulls and small birds. Linnets were everywhere singing from the tops of brambles. We saw both Rock Pipit (dark legs) and Meadow pipits (pale legs). Three nesting species of gulls, Greater Black Back, Herrng and Lesser Black Back (yellow legs) all have eggs or chicks at the moment. There were also Oystercatchers and just on the mainland a hunting Marsh Harrier.
