A little bit of almost everything.

Today started with a sunrise and a dawn chorus not quite the full ensemble, but a joy to my ears.

bird chif chafs were sining every where i have been today, i have also seen my first wheaters of the year. Initially through ipin but i picked up another couple further south.

It has been a good day for mammals as well, with the above hare at cresswell, a fow at linton and pipestrelle bats above the garden at home.

Bricks have many uses but if you fancy planting a rock pool.

Continuing a theme- a rare 16 spot

I was looking for starfish, only found inshore when the sea temps start to rise. No luck but i did find three types of crab, a fish and

these beautiful beadlet anemone .

There are two main colour groups, red and green. They all seem to come with neon contasting colours as well

On the reptile front, no snakes but i did have a lizard.

Back home i did well in the amphibian stakes. While cleaning my pond i have had

toad, frog and great crested newt.

but the most unusual

thing today was the pond dwelling horse, which was feeding on the submerged vegetation.
