Christmas Present from Santa
Driving an elderly relative back to Exeter after Christmas can have it's compensations when a quick turn-round and homeward diversion to Portland harbour can provide Brunnich's Guillemot at silly distance from the watching crowds. This is a species I hadn't expected to see in Britain let alone from the mainland in Dorset. A species normally at home in the frozen north amongst the reindeer!

Local Spotted Crake
This little gem was first found last Sunday in Bedford when the weather was wet and windy. Each time I've visited the bird has skulked and not shown right for my choice of camera. This morning I decided to take both formats out and managed a few digi-scoped images plus some with my 400mm and 7D. Feeding on black pond snails and enjoying the warm sunshine.
