Robin

After the wet and windy Sunday, today started with a glorious sunshine. I took my long lens with me to Castle Hill in case we came across a kestrel, but I had to make do with a robin and a chaffinch. Never mind - they are beautiful, too.

Chaffinch

Last time I saw a little bird (Stonechat) during our walk I didn't have my zoom lens with me, but today I did. This is a Chaffinch (I believe, from looking through my British Birds book).



It was another hot and sunny day. Made me want to be on this yacht I saw heading towards the open sea.



Later in the day - just before sunset - we went back to Castle Hill for a little walk. I loved the sea and the sky, as usual. Very subtle, but beautiful.



And let's finish the day with the opposite of subtle. This is the Newhaven Coastguard watchtower. Drama added with Dynamic Photo HDR.
