Sunshine and Birds

By Paul Cecil | Published June 3, 2011

The welcome return of decent weather is continuing, and today was bright and sunny. Early morning, and the house martins were already busy harvesting mud for their nests.

There were other familiar faces about as well, including the local heron and these young goslings.

Much later in the day I was over in Rottingdean and took an early evening stroll along the seafront. The tide was out, but the fulmars were at home.

The seagulls were finding plenty to argue about.

I plan to sort out some trailcam footage over the weekend to make up for the lack of direct fox sightings. There was some nice colour footage of the cub on the cam this morning. I've also got several clips of the badger to work through.

    I could almost hear those seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine!
