24 APRIL 2015 - DAY 9 - A WINDY DAY AT KENTON ON SEA - PART 1/1

Wow, I have only managed to get my hair back into some sort of order now and also managed to get up to date on my postings.

We are now back live.

It has been blowing a gale here today but at least the sun was shining.

Spent the morning in a sheltered sandy cove away from the wind just lying on the beach.

Another lifer for us.

Sombre Greenbul.

Spot the little fish.

Southern Boubou.

END OF DAY 9.
