Common blue damselflies on Compton Park pool. Thirty or more present, flying over the shrinking areas of open water. Most were unattached males, but several pairs engaging in mating and ovipositing.
Duckling pair, Wightwick Mill
Duckling pair with the mother, on the canal just upstream from Wightwick Mill Lock.
Cinnabar moth landing
Cinnabar moth landing, then at rest on a footpath. A stone’s throw from the sea at Southwold.
Seashore wagtail, Southwold
Pied wagtail by the Southwold seashore. The bird had taken its territory on the end of a canalised stream, so small as to be almost dried up. It seemed to be endlessly searching the algae of the stream bed and the neighbouring concrete sea wall for invertebrate prey.
Ears down: young rabbit
Ears down as close as possible to the skull and neck as this young rabbit hoped the sparse grass would be enough to hide it from my attention.
Reed bunting calling, Warbleswick
Male reed bunting standing on a vantage point and calling. Warbleswick Marshes on the Suffolk coast.
