HOLME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.

Thursday morning the whole group except for the lost handbag brigade went to Holme bird observatory,where some of the ladies were introduced to ringing,unfortunately there were only common birds caught during our stay,a short sea watch found a bonxie,gannets,guillemot and red throated divers.A boardwalk takes you out into the saltmarsh behind the dunes where there were curlew,little egret,knot,redshank,and more bar tailed godwits.
KNOT

A CALLING CURLEW can you hear it?

A pair of BLACK TAILED GODWITS decided to have a dust up over a lug worm or something!

It went on

And on

and on

and on.

until peace was restored.
