Sunday

 Wet and misty this morning - sometimes rain and somtimes mizzle. I went out for more bird food as the little buggers are finishing a  feeder a day - and Jim took the dogs up the hill

 Sadly nothing to see except the Dock plants

Back down the hill to home

Still rather wet a bit later

But that didn't put these hardy folk off

Looking all very lush and tropical underneath the Pine trees

Looking a little brighter

This juvenile Common Buzzard has been around all day - calling out to Mum & Dad and getting too close to the young gulls and getting sent off by the parents

 Lovely big bird

Sad to have an empty patch of sea down below us

45 minutes later and it had brightened up and the visitors had arrived

I took the dogs out and we met Cassie the Labradoodle pup - Wooster and Tilly hadn't met her off the lead before. Her friend Bonnie just stood and watched

She's very quick and active !

But they did have a nice play

 Well ! dogs will be dogs !

Rather warmer than I was expecting

Like a scene from the Alfred Hitchcock film The Birds

and they definitely are Rooks

A little blue sky appearing

Think this is a Curlew down on Boat Cove

Still quite a few on the beach

7.06pm and the Coastguard Rescue helicopter came over the bay fast and low and right over the house - normally the route from Scilly - it looked like it carried on to Derriford in Plymouth - do hope the patient arrived safely and is OK

I was editing the photos when I saw the light had changed - sun just about to appear below this huge dark cloud
