A few birds at last.

Went to Hell's Mouth and The Lizard at the weekend. Still not a lot of birds around.
This Kestrel must have had a recent kill, judging by the bloody talons!

Don't know what species of Lizard this is. We took it at Kynance cove on The Lizard.

A good way to tell the Large Skipper from the Small Skipper is by the hook on the end of the antenna, also Small Skipper tend to be more orange on the club.

Short trip to Iceland.

We have just got back from a short trip to Iceland. Had a great time and would highly recommend it. It was extremely cold and at times so windy, you could barely stand up,

let alone take photos.

We birded in the SW of Iceland and as only 300,000 people live there we hardly saw anyone when away from the towns. The landscape is breathtaking and we were amazed at the small colourful houses everywhere, just lovely. Hope to go back one day. The only disappointment

was that we didn't see the Northern Lights or get White-tailed Eagle or any of the Auks.
