Whimbrel and Stonechat at Marazion Marsh

Two Whimbrel were showing well yesterday feeding on the grass bank at Marazion.  A pair of Stonechats at the east end of the marsh are on territory as well.  The female below was very obliging in late evening sunshine.

First Orange Tip of the season

I called in at Breney Common this morning to see if any Orange Tips were out yet.  Just one male was found at this woodland site on the west edge of Bodmin Moor.  The temperature this morning was only 11 degs so I guess maybe the heat of midday will entice a few more out later.  I managed to get a few shots away when the background wasn't competing for attention - not easy in woods!
