Another Birthday trip to Pennington.

This weather!  When is it going to settle down!  My birthday always used to have amazing weather! Not this year.

The constant threat of rain makes planning stuff really hard! I had hoped to cycle around the Isle of Wight, but the never ending days of showers made me change my mind. So, Pennington won again. 

I hadnt had a day out with my camera for a very long time, and hadnt seen the sea for over a month, so it was a good compromise. A good day, with the following cast. (click on pics to enlarge).


Cetti's Warbler


Any sign of large gulls, dogs, humans, and the Avocet were flying around,
defending their recently hatched chicks. 
Ive never seen them on the main path before.


Reed Warbler

Oystercatcher

There is a good number of Little Tern at Pennington too.
