Apart from the odd half day over the last few weeks the weather has been quite atrocious and not conducive to observing nature.
The first opportunity to go out with the camera in 2020 found me at Ferrybridge walking along the receding tide and observing a small flock of Turnstone.
Searching amongst the seaweed for food they were difficult to keep up with and the light was poor, when it wasn't raining that is.
There were still quite a number of Brent Geese at the same location.
As I was shooting images of the Turnstone a man and woman stopped nearby and asked me if the Brent were Artic Terns!!......
.....and I thought my bird identification skills were poor.
Voi että! Nämä ihanat linnut ovat nyt siellä. Menee vielä useampi kuukausi, että ne tulevat tänne takaisin.

DeleteChasing Turnstone?...what better way to burn off all those festive endulgenses!
ReplyDeleteAccording to the recent reports there's plenty of those 'funny looking' Arctic Terns around Norfolk at the moment!...[;o)
Thanks Trevor, it is the sea that makes you feel hungry as well. That's my excuse.
DeleteI'm thinking of going up to the Farnes this summer; hope I don't get dive-bombed by those Arctic Terns, they look as though they pack quite a punch!
ReplyDeleteCould be fatal John.:))
