Fascinating watching a Curlew eat a crab... a few flicks of its head and there it was, gone! Good also to see a couple of Rock Pipit hopping around. Black Nore Point, Portishead, N.Somerset. (13.12.25) #avonbirding #ukwildlife

More Stonechat and Linnet... this time back on a local familiar walk through Lamplighters Marsh NR (Bristol) today. Tide was too high for any waders to be about on the River Avon, although did get a flypast from a Grey Heron and a Cormorant. #bristolbirding #ukwildlife

Thanks to me be over prepared for everything, I didn’t get wet at all because I have a waterproof blanket think that folds up tiny, waterproof mittens, a rain cover for my scooter controls. I may carry too much stuff but once in a while it saves me :D
