Monday

 

Grey and slightly damp morning as Jim set off

Got a little wetter while they were out and it went on for a while

Brightened up a bit later on

Afternoon walkies past the newly planted Cauliflowers

Maisie & Kobi

and a new friend

Penlee Lifeboat heading towards The Mount

The long walk back to the "mainland"

SS118 Crystal Sea waiting for the tide

The lovely Bel Espoir 2 leaving her anchorage off Mousehole

Boat Cove Trenow

Bel Espoir 2 crossing the bay

The view from Men du Point

Looking back to the beach

Someone at the gate !

SCIII returning to Penzance

Had a shock early this evening when this RAF Airbus A400M came zooming along the coast at a very low altitude

Carried on past Lamorna and out of sight

Sunday

 

Nice clear morning

Some licks for Maisie from Tess

Arklow View

Still a few Valerian flowers worth visiting for the Hummingbird Hawkmoth

Afternoon walkies with a little more cloud overhead

Not as busy in the water

Noticed a Dragonfly top left - don't see them very often

One or two Swallows around

We had a visit from this Leucistic Magpie - have seen it around since it fledged but not managed a photo before

Still super clear this evening with Majestic Princess on her way from Portland to Cobh

Saturday

Strong Northerly wind this morning

Lugger Happy Return out in the white caps

Scillonian III returning to Penzance for a quick turnaround and then off to Scilly again

Not a sight anyone wants to see at the moment - wildfire on the coastal path between Mousehole and Lamorna

Arklow View that came in from Avonmouth and Menawethan waiting for the tide

Fire seemed to be under control and later on the smoke had gone

SCIII returning to Penzance this evening
