May 6 Bank Holiday Blues

 

Another dull and miserable morning.Still i head towards Hillhead.I look across the solent and the sea is surprisingly calm.Plenty of yachts just ofrf the Isle of Wight.

I decide to try my luck in Titchfield Haven first.This time of year the scrapes are alive with nesting Black Headed Gulls.

As i walk along the east side of the river meon i can't help but notice the many badger setts that are here.

Plenty of swifts and swallows flying low over the frying pan , to far away for a decent picture. I do manage to capture this Grey squirrel and Pheasant.

I decide to head towards the canal path i look back and take this shot of the estuary, a popular place for families to feed the ducks and swans.

The canal itself has long been forgotten and is a mere shadow of its former self.

Due to the recent weather thev path is very wet and muddy, and the meadows very boggy. Singing just ahead of me was this Greenfinch.

Time to head for home and a bite to eat.
