Yes - truly wonderful.

Didn't see an Albatross unfortunately.

Very pleased to have seen this. Very distant and not the best photo, but chuffed nonetheless 👍

Ooh lucky bugger. Weve been a few times but seems to miss the puffins.

Last time we wentbtere had been and Albatross around for a few days and that morning but it'd left about an hour before we got there.

I tend to take photos with either a Minolta Dimage F100 or an S304, depending on the situation. However, my Mum's Kodak EasyShare I found in a drawer. It's not that bad, it kept overexposing slightly in automatic mode, so I've compensated for that when loading the images into Ulead PhotoExpress 3.0 (yeah it's about 25 years old but works bob on).

At the Res earlier................

The end of a very hot day 🥵

Slightly deeper colour last night......

We've got a red Poppy in a pot on the patio. Nice surprise to see it bloom a pink Poppy today:

It's ever so delicate, so I'm not expecting it to last the day.

PS: While I'm at it, I went to Manor Gardens in Bexhill yesterday. It's only a small place, an acre perhaps, but it's a bit of an oasis with some lovely bird song and plants. Doesn't come out so well on camera, but these roses were a stunning lilac, almost glowing:

Whole bed of 'em!

Haven’t been out much, been busy digging out about 100 tonnes of concrete and installing soakaways. Though managed to get to the causeway. Schoolboy error with the stabilisation settings (didn’t change them from Oulton Park) so the images weren’t great. A few camera phone shots as well.

Finally got a roll of 35mm film developed. My mate's Corsa made an excellent subject.

Fearless!!

We had a sense we were being watched earlier👀🦆

A few more from today...........

Had another go at Bamburgh, Craster and Holy Island Causeway yesterday.

Thanks Mike. I got lucky with the light, straight after a rain shower. I’ll try again when the scaffolding is down and use a slow shutter to try and capture the castles reflection in the water. Might frame it then lol.

Here’s some shots I took between showers today at Floors Castle. Murdered the processing on a couple , though I quite like it.
