| A flight of Cormorants or a skein of geese? |
 |
| Definitely a flight of Cormorants, with white patches of breeding plumage. |

| We noticed the occasional shell, like this Slipper Limpet (see here, too, for one I saw earlier) |
My thanks to David (Gill) for getting out of the car to photograph the
Lapwing for me. You can read his post
here on the
Orwell View blog. The partridge scuttled into the undergrowth, but you can read about the species
here.

A nice birding outing and a chance of seeing an pelagic bird is always exciting. Love the Lapwing, they a cool looking birds.
Hi Caroline,
The bird is probably a juvenile Cormorant with its neck hunched up a bit, although I could be wrong! Like your first shot with the inclusion of the shadows.
Love seeing your birds since they are always strange to me :-) Isn't it great to have a helpful husband when you are birding? I couldn't access that link you put in my comment. Maybe because my comments are popup style. Blogger is being weird today. Everyone who has word verification is showing 2 hard to copy and read words. Awful. If you want to send the link to my email: mvfreeman@gmail.com Feel free to email me any time!
