Patchwork leaf-cutter maybe?
What is this? a bee? he/she approached my aluminium door and after a slight struggle vanished through a gap into the door ! Nest building? Or is it food?
@cornishbird.bsky.social l believe that this our Cornish born Eider, feeding away from the gang. I don't think it would be easy to pick him out otherwise.
Back in the 1950s l knew them as a hedgey-bet, or shuffle-wings, far superior to the common 'ouse sparrah!

Moult now underway, only one male still in breeding plumage.
It takes a sharp Sharp to catch the swift Swift, great pic!
@cornishbird.bsky.social No sign of the duckling today, Rita checked 3ish and the female was on her own. Slightest chance of a second brood? Or next year with more females and a home grown male?
I am afraid that the inevitable has a habit of happening, the remaining Eider duckling has vanished, the female was seen alone around 3pm today.
And then there was one... hopefully she can protect it more effectively now.
A lone male not far off, but showing no interest.
Thanks Bob, l was beginning to wonder if it was on the cards, so it was a nice surprise this morning. They look possibly a day older than last year's on first sighting, but l could be mistaken.
It is following me around it seems, Spit this morning and Par beach pool this evening.
Did you bring one back by any chance?
Lucky you! But a nice Gtr.Whitethroat takes my '25 patch list to 101. No Eiderlets yet but still optimistic.
