GETTING LUCKY...

Another delve into my collection of photos I have taken over the years has revealed a hitherto undiscovered interest in bird life.   OK, I don`t set out to snap them but if they happen to be pretty still and in an interesting place then I might get lucky and catch the moment, as it were.  

I took the one above during yet another memorable walk along the north Cornish coast - this one was from Harlyn Bay round to Trevose Head and as we paused for a while at Mother Ivy`s Bay I saw this seagull perched on a rock above a colourful sea.  (Please click on the photos for much better images.)

This next one was on the walk from Mawgan Porth en route to Watergate Bay.  We only got as far as Stem Point, where we stopped for our lunch and gazed down to the sprawling sands of Watergate Bay.  Here`s the view from the top:-

Having done enough hill climbing for one day, we headed back and as we stopped (again) this time at Beacon Cove, I spotted this kestrel hovering around, looking for his own lunch:-

Not the most amazing photos you`ve ever seen, I agree, but for me they are lasting memories of wonderful days and just being in the right place at the right time and being lucky.  Well, I like them.
