I think I'm getting my MOJO back!

Thanks to Trevor’s persistence I went out today for the first time in weeks. Only a short visit to Porthpean to look for a Great Northern Diver (a life tick for me) and a short visit to Par, but I think it rekindled my passion! By the time we finished Trevor was nagging to go home! My hands held out so hopefully the treatment is helping. I did get my life tick too as I found a Great Northern Diver very close in at Porthpean within a couple of minutes of arriving. It was a good session. Thanks Trev :-)

Cheeky Robin at Porthpean... The light was terrible and I think I may have sharpened this one too much!



Tufted Duck at Par Beach Pool...


Thursday, 11 June 2009

I nearly didn’t go out this evening, and then I thought “maybe I’ll just have a look at Par, but I don’t suppose I’ll see much“!

I got out of the car and walked over to the top end of the Pool and never moved from that vicinity in 2 hours! Got shots of Reed Warbler (which I have seen once before and the Abbot kept mentioning Cetti’s Warbler, which gave me doubts as to ID, but fortunately the guys on Birdforum confirmed it for me). Also saw a Goldcrest (but only got bad quality shots), Jay, Kestrel, Tufted Duck and Juv. Reed Bunting, amongst others! A good night.
