This is how I feel at the moment, 35 minutes of sleep last night was all I got.
So I'm going to see if I can drift off for a bit, so I'm leaving you with Mrs Boggle Eyes for #MammalMonday.

Don't worry I will be back to Repost/Reply to BOTD Posts later.

It is a great venue for the Grey Seals, roughly Nov - Jan for the Pupping Season. These shots were from Nov 2024 and the one with blood on it had just been born a couple of hours before we arrived at 8am. If you can make it during the weeks it's a bit quieter than weekends, and 8am is the best time.

@alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay is #NestBuilders, birds with nesting material.
The Alternative is #SmallBirdsBigPersonality, small birds oozing personality.

Here's a Barn Swallow oozing personality and Northern Gannets, Western Jackdaw & Moorhen with nesting material.

I nearly forgot about the #HolidayRobin theme, and that wouldn't have been good. So here's a set of #Robins from 2024 to entertain you.

I thought these Kingfishers were a perfect match for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by @alan678.bsky.social, the theme is #Movement and the alternative was #LookingUp
