Just wandered around some of the local quarries and Boulmer this morning.
It was nice and sunny but the NE breeze had a cold edge to it.
Above -Azure Damselfly found at Littlehoughton Quarry this morning. Typical. My first mid week now they are on my doorstep.
Above - At the same quarry, a pair of Buzzards soared overhead calling and 12+ Crossbills flew low overhead.
Above - This Kestrel was hovering near the seawatch seat at Boulmer. It has a broken left leg but still managed to catch prey right in front of me. A young rat I think?
Above - Eider and Shelducklings sharing the same pool on the beach. All together now...

Bob D? Is that Barrroom Strut Bob? if so, timing is impeccable. T'other night we were looking for Split Crow on You Tube! No sign unfortunately, before your time...
Nice to hear from you, hope all is well....
Great pictures. The little ducks are charming.
That's an Azure damselfly. You can tell by the "U" ... Oh you know that don't you? Thanks for the ID of my misidentified Common blue.
