Coastal wander

The weekend had fairly decent weather for a change, so it was off to my coastal patch for a nature watch.

Sadly missed the pod of White beaked dolphins from early morning but seawatched for a while in sunny and windfree conditions.

Plenty folk stop and chat its nice to share news and the highlight was a very obliging Little Egret on the rocks, a first for many visitors.



Also proving return migration has started an all too brief sight of 4 Black-tailed godwit.



7 species of butterflly on the wing, mainly Ringlets.



Two day flying moths the most interesting being a Plume moth.



Good mix of wildflowers from Vipers Bugloss to Mignonette, and two Mammals Grey seal and Pygmy Shrew.

What a wonderful coastal wander, Nom, and such beautiful photos. I have never seen a plume moth before.

Re: Coastal wander

You sure know your stuff Nom, apart from the Egret I doubt that I could have named any of those other critters..
