Merganser Porn

 Weather was a bit gloomy today but Jill popped out to check on the local patch. 

Lots of common gulls around. Some starting to nest.


Then Jill stumbled across a pair of Red breasted mergansers getting jiggy with it. It was an interesting sequence as you will see. Not much foreplay and then lots of ' what a clever chap I am' afterwards.




























On the way home the sun came out- on a glorious shimmering lapwing.






Found a few lambs to watch on the way home.





Then it was home. The driveway was busy. 2 pairs of wheatears, over 120 oystercatchers about 20 curlews, 3 whimbrel and lots of lambs from the hill sheep.






Missed these two yesterday. Thought they have cuteness so have added them today.

 Nearly at the next stage. The heating bits arrived today. There is a lot of it! We noticed today that we weren't getting any phone call...
