Thursday morning 2 of the now 3 grey plovers that have been present on the Axe, were in front of the platform at Coronation Corner, along with 2 ring plovers and a sandwich tern. The sun shone but the wind was cold making for just a short trip out and about.

Later in the afternoon on Black hole marsh there were 2 green sandpipers one of which continues to pose nicely for photos

Could not resist these I'm afraid (and no they are not the missed dinner)
Yesterday it was nice to see a kestrel back over Black hole marsh again

and there were plenty of quarrelsome black tailed godwits scattered about

A lone redshank deserved a photo

While I was there a pair of gadwall flew in and the male pintail appeared to have the company of 2 females

Now here is the missed dinner part of the title - just a shame it was rather distant.
Rabbit totally unaware of fox
Still seems to be unaware as something startles the fox
but then a hasty exit which meant while the fox hesitated dinner was gone
And finally the something different was off patch - these 3 beauties were at Darts farm yesterday and looked stunning in the morning sun.
