Ooo.. We Are Lucky To Be Here

And some bird recognition needed!







Is there any way I can feed a lamb? Says D to a friendly local.
No problem see you at twelve tomorrow, says local.

Arriving at twelve we find that this Ewe had just given birth to this little lump of cuteness.





Within a few minutes it was struggling to its feet,





And within another ten minutes or so it is looking for food........Amazing!






Having a walk around the shore in the sunshine (I know, I know....Shut up about the weather) we came across these. Without the bright red legs they are nearly invisible amongst the rocks.




I am on a mission at the moment to get a decent shot of a seal, but whenever I get near enough they scarper into the water...... Now.....is that particular seal laughing all over its face, or is it just me?  I'm sure I heard a raspberry as well! 







This little fellow turned up in the garden this afternoon.




Terrible picures taken through the kitchen window,




But does anyone know what it is?







Until next time............

  1. Definitely a chaffinch. As for the little waders, not a clue. Think your weather has found its way south, blowing a hoolie up the Paddington Arm.
