Out and about

White-bellied Sea-Eagle

With the recent good weather I've been able to get out every weekend for the past month or so which might explain the lack of bloggage. I can now finally bring you up to date with what I've been up to.

Curra Moors

The Curra Moors track on the coastal heath of the Royal NP is always a pleasant stroll and best before it gets too warm due to the total lack of shade out there. Emily and I popped down to see the whales returning from up north with their new calves. There was no spectacular breaching this time so maybe they don't like to draw attention to themselves with the little ones in tow. The entertainment was left to a pod of dolphins who were somersaulting out of the water and surfing the waves at the foot of the cliffs. We also had great views of a couple of Peregrines mobbing a Sea-Eagle.

 Heath flowers

In other news, the final stitches were removed from my eye after just over a year and so the graft is sitting there on it's own now. It was quite reassuring to have a few stitches holding it in place but I'm sure it must be well and truly fixed by now. I still can't see too well but I don't think it's anything a pair of specs or a new contact lens can't fix. We'll see what the surgeon has to say next Tuesday.
