Apologies for the missing shot (watching bird, too slow, camera in bag etc etc.....The Arctic Warbler)

Autumn

A great breeding season for many birds has contributed to some great autumn migration.
















Away Days

Some pelagic action from a little south of the Lizard - Madeira
 









Penzance Pelagics

Although very calm for much of the summer this resulted in great photo ops







 




Summer Inverts

The great summer weather made it a good season for many local and immigrant species.

A first encounter with a tandem pair of Lesser Emperor later observed ovipositing
