Spring catch-up


A small selection of recent birds from Holme. With much work being done recently to improve access arrangements the birds haven't been forgotten - they just haven't posed for the camera! Recent personal highlights have included 2 spring Arctic Skuas and Iceland Gull past the Dunes, 2 Cranes circling almost over the Obs and Ring Ouzels and the Grasshopper Warbler pictured below reeling and posing in the dunes. Words and Pictures Ray Roche.
