Took the family to Shoreham today as it was sunny, and found this washed up on the beach.

Any idea what it is/they are ?

As no-one else seems to post in here I'll put a few more up. Heres the floods a mile down the road in January 2005

Here's typical danish beech-forest in May.
This was taken almost exactly two years ago (11/5-2013), but the forest looked remarkably similar today.
(and on an el-cheapo mobile phone - high reso but crap lens and sensor, but it's a matter of capturing the moment...)

Thanks, I did put it/them back in the water after the photoshoot.

Caught a tan as well while I was there, which is nice.

Walked the dog again today, as I do every morning. Got another look at this cheeky chap, even got him in flight!

I did think about buying a peacock a few months ago, but decided against it, my garden is not big enough and I am sure it would have dug it up, they are inexpensive here in the uk.

You could lock the spade away.

As promised elsewhere, here's the first wave of Avian (chiefly) pics from our recent holiday near Lorca in Murcia (Spain)

We were honoured to have a family of Long Eared Owls - Two Adults plus three babies - lurking in the False Pepper Trees surrounding our Casita.

And here's the first of two batches of other Birds (Chiefly) seen on our travels.

Owing to us being ill-equipped amateurs, most of them will need viewers to magnify muchly - but the rewards are considerable.

Bee Eater



Black Winged Stilt



Corn Bunting



Crested Lark



Stonechat (Female)



Hoopoe



Lesser Haired Tivu

 

[Lazarus]

And finally:

Little Stint and Kentish Plover



Some Weird Beetles



Rollers



Sardinian Warbler



Stone Curlew (Smoke that, Packham!)



Woodchat Shrikes (Look carefully: There's a pair)



Yellow Wagtails (And another Stone Curlew - Yawn)

Whoops!

Forgot to label the previous two Posts with IDs: Done the first now and will do the other after Dinner.



Edit: Now done
