My candidate for #underrated #BirdOfTheDay is this magpie looking handsome in the rain.

I spent this morning looking for shorties, hoping that they may have returned to Cornwall for the winter, but was out of luck. However while hidden in a thicket I was visited by a family of beautiful roe deer which made my day.

Today’s alternative #BirdOfTheDay is #Flocks so here’s a bunch of oystercatchers neatly framing Godrevy lighthouse in Cornwall.

An early start, and this heron had the same idea — cruising low over the marsh in the morning sun.

I’ve been photographing juvenile peregrines on the Cornish cliffs over the past few days. Imagine my surprise (and its!) when one landed in the grass about 5 metres from me… we looked at each other for a couple of minutes before it flew off.

A stunning day on the Cornish coast watching this beautiful peregrine, here flying out of the shadow of the cliff. And yes, the sea really was that blue!
