Christine's walking & birds blog

For the third day running, dreary wet weather with poor light has kept me indoors. This morning I went to check if the little grebe seen in the harbour four days ago was still there; it was, and a break in the rain enabled me to get a better picture.


I'd intended to walk out on the quay to see if the viking gull (present a couple of days ago) was around, but yet another shower sent me home. The only other notable sighting today was of a goldcrest hovering around the dwarf pine in the garden, flying up from the top to catch tiny insects I couldn't see. Another small bird (presumably a second goldcrest) flew in and "buzzed" the first bird - whereupon they flew away together.
