Creature hunt at Par...

I didn’t get the camera out again this morning for obvious reasons! I sat out and watched the Great Tit family for as long as the hands would take the cold! This evening, feeling better so decided to go to Par again. Not the best light for me with a camera. I’m hopeless at getting the settings right so I have some poor quality images (as usual, but I‘m not disappointed!). It was quiet, although the Knot was still about. No Heron, Egret, Cormorant or Sandwich Tern, which brings me to the fact that I have been agonising over the ID of Sandwich Term at Par on the 23rd so I put my pic up on Birdforum and thankfully I have had two confirmations! I saw a Snail not long after arriving at Par, and so I decided to go on a creature hunt this evening. The results were better than expected!
