Midweek at Maza

Escaping from the Ground Hog Day routine of the 8am-5pm day working for a couple of hours I shot off to Marazion. Big mistake strong winds and Baltic conditions. This meant there was a big fat zero around on the marsh, although it had thawed. So with no pictures I headed back to the van where a Turnstone and Gull posed for me on the beach wall.  So two images!! Well four I have added a couple of the Bittern but well within its habit, the reed bed. Tomorrows forecast isn't fantastic so it may be that the awful prospect of christmas shopping will have to be realised. On a brighter note I did meet up with a couple of students from the Falmouth University and they have done an excellent short video of Marazion, well worth watching for the Bittern on Ice alone. Link later.
