Snow Buntings

 It is not often that a species gets a blog to itself but the Snow Buntings at Titchwell on Sunday occupied us for much of the morning and were a delight to photograph as they lured us further and further along the beach. Difficult conditions as there was a very strong wind so sand was blowing up and sometimes obscuring the birds. I like the three birds with recession in the second image and the last image would make a very tricky jigsaw!

Bird Species at Hunstanton

Hunstanton certainly produced the full range of species so some 'record' shots from the day - some from a bit of a distance but good to see the here, anyway, the ecosystem if in balance with plenty of food for them all. Species Brent geese, Oystercatcher,Redshank, Sanderling, Starling, Turnstone,Curlew, Knot, Black-tailed Godwit, Bar-tailed Godwit, Black-headed gull, Herring Gull. Little Egret, Fulmar and Grey Plover.

Hunstanton Beach

Although cloudy from late morning when the RPS Nature Group met for a day photographing birds on Hunstanton Beach, the rain stayed away and we had a great time with a lot of birds to train our cameras on.

Autumn Through a Crystal Ball

The fungi are still amazing in my local wood so another sunset visit was in order. Before the sun got to desired low point, I played around with a crystal ball - not at all easy to get an in-focus image that worked! The Parasols are drying up a bit now but worth this second visit.
