Back to Basics

Evening exercise in atmospheric Autumnal conditions. Good for the soul...

My first Rock Pipit (P.140, H.126) of the year on the beach (where else) was a bonus plus 3 Teal on the sea. Not a bad hour and just the ticket!

Some of the Golden Plover hiding in the plough against the light...
