Your day's wildlife

[tarric]

Had wander down to Newburgh to see if there were any pups yet, couldn't see the colony they must have moved further down the beach, did see a few seals swimming in the estuary. So I had a wander along the shore and tis is what I spotted.
Quite a few Curlew, and a Redshank I think,

Lots and lots of Wigeon, again I think,

and a few Heron's

Coastal birds are not my forte.

staring at a giant eyeball, which is the blink camera. what does the bird want? water? different seed?

different bird, this one with a seed. is this a thank you? does it want more? it is offering a seed to the eyeball?

Messed up today, quite a few opportunities but when back home, lots of noise on the shots, managed to clean them up a bit but, lesson learned, not watching the ISO settings.
Greater Spotted Woodpecker partially obscured...

Fieldfare...

Little Grebe..

Kestrel in flight..

Most shots taken at quite a distance which doesnt help so all cropped quite a bit

Common Sandpiper i think
I stand corrected, Poacher is right below

Common Sandpiper i think

No, I think @tarric called it right. Sandpipers have migrated South by now, this bird has red legs (a bit of a giveaway), rather than green/yellow and a reddish base to the bill. Redshank, surely.

Edit: @rockyroller 's little visitor is puzzling, will have to get out the guide for possibilities.
Tufted Titmouse?

 

[rockyroller]

naturally Mr. Coyote hops the wall, the night I don't have my game cameras out there

 

[gbb]

Well, had a play with the 'noisy' shots, i was watching this Jay for a couple minutes...

maybe I should put the trail cameras on the trail, eh? hard to see in a still frame, but the video clip was interesting to watch. just heard about a coyote attack in another town, not nearby

an hour later Mr Rabbit came out of hiding

attack details
Location: Glenhurst Avenue and a walking path off Hillcrest Road in Kingston, MA
Victim: A 16-month-old child was injured during an incident on Glenhurst Avenue, and a man was attacked in broad daylight near Hillcrest Road
Kingston Animal Control said the man was attacked around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. Neighbors said he was bitten in the ankle and will have to undergo rabies shots.
PSA: There has been a report of an aggressive coyote on Hillcrest St that allegedly attacked a person today. We've been made aware of some trails that people in the area frequently walk their dogs so please use extreme caution. Carry pepper spray, keep your dogs on a leash, or avoid the area all together. Thank you.

Official Guidance: Kingston Animal Control and local police are urging residents to:

• Carry pepper spray when walking outdoors.
• Keep all pets on leashes.
• Avoid the walking path off Hillcrest Road.
• Immediately report any aggressive or strange coyote behavior to animal control

did not see any on the remote trail I rode last night

A chilly morning without much in the way of sightings...(actually think there was a little frost in the shaded areas)

A very productive day today, waited for the worst of the overnight cold to go, lovely and sunny as the day went on..
A kestrel perched, then flying off

Fieldfare, 5 or 6 of them some distance away working a field..

Green Woodpecker..

Greenfinch female..

No pics but had a very friendly Robin hoovering up the insects/eggs/grubs we revealed when tidying the garden this morning, singing non stop as he (or she ) went along.

Chaffinch came and stod next to me on the path. Looked healthy too which was a relief.
