An interesting walk this evening which produced a Yellow-browed Warbler in the Sycamores Here, just below the cliff the climbers use. Also about 1 Wheatear and several Chiffchaffs
A flock of 35 Pied Wagtails was the only other highlight as they came off the sea and headed towards Wakeham.
In the undergrowth a one of shot of what I believe is an Ichneumon wasp, Ophion scutellaris
As I made my way home I had a tweet to say a Red-breasted Flycatcher was in Broadcroft Quarry. That's fate for you!! Had I carried on walking up Broadcroft Lane instead taking a right towards the Penn's Weare, I might have had the opportunity to see a lifer. There's always tomorrow!
Here are a few images from a very misty evening.
A male Kestrel above the cliffs......
.....and as I dropped down on to the South-west Coast path he was sat on top of the cliff........
.......whilst his mate was below him.
Just beyond the WWII pill-box there were these 5 Cormorants working their way along the shoreline.
It makes a nice change to have Benji join Ted and me for a walk. Good boy.
A male Wheatear settles down on a rock.
That sky behind Rufus Castle and Pennsylvania Castle is quite dramatic.
Well we couldn't have a walk without Ted showing up in either a photo or video.
