Mike (Friends of Par Beach) emailed me a photo of the Rail, taken nr dusk time, it was either PBP or the beach, not sure which. Photo on FoPB website.
ReplyDeletePBP blackcap - this afternoon a Mr Blackcap dominated the garden bird feeder (cottage is by Ship Inn ie. not far from PBP), I hadn't seen one in a while.
Hi Michelle.
ReplyDeleteNice photo of a bird I have yet to see at Par.
I suspect it was around the pool area somewhere.
Lovely birds Blackcaps...yet again one I have yet to see at Par.
We do have three Blackcaps visit our garden feeders at the moment. Most of my garden shots and birding trips *out of bounds* are on one of my other blogs http://alectobeestie.blogspot.com/
