Calm before the storm...hopefully

Shhhhhhh....It's VERY quiet at the moment. I did manage a young Willow Warbler at the Sewage works...

The Hares are very apparent at the moment down Snakey as the cover diminishes daily...

superb animals

Roseate Tern numbers building up nicely further north...116 on Inner Farne this evening. Hopefully one or two past Holmpton soon!
