HAYLE ESTUARY & SWANPOOL.

Well, I never did catch up with the Franklin's Gull that's been hanging

 around but I did see this Cattle Egret on Hayle Estuary instead of 

in a field of Cattle so that was an unexpected bonus.

The Nuthatches were taken at Lelant Saltings.

 This is our first posting for six weeks and are just some local shots taken over the last few days.

 Although we have had a few technical issues, it must be said that since our return

 from Bulgaria we are finding it hard to get back into it. Must try harder!!

Sunday at Stithians.

A few shots from a quick visit to one of my favourite haunts (Stithians Reservoir) on Sunday afternoon. Had both hides to myself and didn't see another soul, just me and the flask. John
