After nice bright weather for a couple of weeks, we had a wet, grey day today, and the forecast says it is with us until early next week. On the positive my water butts in the garden are now full of water.
So, pictures today from Titchfield Haven are more like pictures from a winter’s day. Not very nice under sail in the Solent.
Grey Heron.
Little Egret.
fledgling Reed Warbler.
Warning: Distressing images.
Further to my post last week re Black-headed gull chicks
Link below.
The next pictures show how hard it is for the chicks. A much larger Lesser Black-backed gull swoops down and snatches a chick. As this happened, the Black-headed gull colony erupted into the air, but they failed to save their baby.
Pictures taken by my brother Simon Finnegan {I missed this, although I have seen it happen in the past.}
