Halloween Birds

Today Lisa and I had a tip from Phil the birder ( a very Knowledgeable fellow indeed) that three Black Redstarts where in the cemetery at St Just Church. So we thought as it is Halloween a trip to the graveyard is good timing. Respect was exercised and we kept to the pathways. The light was poor today, overcast and drizzle again so the ISO was pushed up to a maximum of 800.

  7. Beautiful birds and pictures of them. Here in the US some of the best places to bird are the graveyards with their mature evergreen trees.
