So I’ve been a little quiet on the blog, I’ve been busy moving to my new place to live. So for the first in a month I had a few hours to spare and it being a beautiful autumn day here I took a drive to the County Down coast. A few gentle walks and just parking up in other spots, it was an easy day. Chatted to a couple of other photographers and those just out for a stroll. So a few photos from today, Think the title might give a clue…

Grey Heron (  Ardea cinerea )

A Curlew (  Scolopacidae ) I spooked from its resting place.

Black headed gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) in winter plumage.

 

In full song a Robin (  Erithacus rubecula )

A couple of Cormorants ( Phalacrocoracidae )

Not a 100 percent but I think this is called a Skiff. So if any person knows what they are could you let me know. Check this link

 

The Grey Seal (  Halichoerus grypus ) and they are not all grey in colour.

 

Heading back towards Strangford.

Next a few shots of the Little Egret (  Egretta garzetta )

 

these birds flying in the photo’s are Lapwings (  Vanellinae )

Peace at last..

Unless he know’s different..

Don’t like the look of him..

So like my flying friend it’s time to go, hope you enjoyed the day out and you will join me another time. Thank you and take care.

George.
