At Morton lochs this afternoon.

Sure sign summer has arrived.

Blackbird

We've been watching Springwatch on BBC so when I spotted this young blackbird doing a bit of sunbathing I thought I'd grab a photo.

Unfortunately the result isn't as sharp as I'd like so I probably should leave wildlife photography to the experts.

Bit of a mixture this evening... seem to have a lot of 'archives' from earlier in the year, so bit of a 'Local Patch' selection...

Short break from Suffolk, have been out on the local patch too, so here's some of what I've been seeing...

Yup, found a nesting pair, so be prepared for quite a few of these! (GSW's were where I really started to learn my way round my first DSLR and got the birding / nature back because of it / them!)
