We get beautiful white egrets at the beach here and also on the farm. With all of the rain, they sit in the ditches which are filled with water waiting for frogs. I love to see them!

Puffins!
I got up extra early this morning to take advantage of the very calm waters to see puffins!
I have lots of pictures, but will need a bit of time to get through them all.
How do cross-system subsidies shape the functioning of recipient #ecosystems? Sterling Tebbett & Scott Ling explore a @PLOSBiology study revealing that #seabird -derived nutrients fuel primary producers on #CoralReefs, enhancing herbivore productivity.

We're lucky to have a breeding colony of fulmars at our local cliffs in Rottingdean. These wonderful sea birds are petrels and related to the albatross. They resemble gulls, but have stiff wings and tube-noses. They also cackle rather than squawk! Here's a couple of photos I took today when I had a spare half hour with the camera. #fulmar #seabird #Rottingdean #nature #wildlife #BirdsOfMastodon
