Things ticking over

 Well another frustrating day, this time on the look out for the Osprey again at Hayle. It didn't show in the three hours I was there but I did grab some shots of the resident birds to keep things ticking over. After Hayle I headed over to Marazion some spectacular swoops by a sparrowhawk were great to see. No photo's the bird was just to fast and to stealthy in approach, maybe next time. Hopefully we will get some snow and ice soon and things will change producing great winter scenes, winter fauna visitors etc. Ok some images from today:

Not quite sure how this Gull managed this crab, but it disappeared down it's throat!
