the lull...

It's been a long period without any real 'movement through the crease'. For the remainder of February there seemed to be very little change at girdle ness, although the wheezing of greenfinches and the tinkling of linnets was an expected, but nonetheless welcome addition. As for the rest of the month, the highlight continued to be the otter, which showed from the office window with relative frequncy, and once in it's favoured area when I happened to be outside - so I finally got the opportunity to get some shots of it without having a murky window in the way.

As soon as February was out, the birds started picking up. Nothing remarkable but both greylag goose and pomarine skua have the potential to be tricky. A dunlin also put in an appearance, making it three additions to the patch yearlist in three days.






The first of the wildflowers are on show as well, as of the last week or so, with coltsfoot and lesser celandine both brightening the place up.
