Or on the shore maybe a Rock Pipit. I think light pinky legs are Meadow and dark legs are Rock.

Given the location (particularly!), dark legs, darkish back and relatively bold supercilium, more likely a Rock Pipit

I like bats. You never quite see them, but hear their presence as they zip past.

[QUOTE 4319475, member: 9609"]you're probably right, I notice now there was a clue in the location as well - LOL
I think I just got over excited at the mention of Gannets.[/QUOTE]
The first time I saw Gannets was when I was near Penzance. They were a very long way off, and it was the sight of birds diving into the sea creating plumes of spray that caught my attention. Looking through my binoculars I could make out the shape of the birds folding their wings and diving in. I then noticed in amongst the splashes large dark fins which turned out to belong to one or two Basking Sharks.

Yesterday's ride was the ride of dead animals... Badger, hedgehog and squirrel, it was eventually a relief to see inquisitive cows staring at me!

I hate seeing dead things on the road. There are always a lot of birds at this time of year as they're rushing around trying to feed chicks and don't judge the traffic so well

As mentioned in 'your ride today' a weasel ran across the road in front of us.

I spotted this bird perched on a branch in the top of a tree, I thought that it was a blackbird at first but when I looked at it through my binoculars I could see that it was some kind of a hawk. It was a chestnut colour front and back. I'm sorry that the pictures are not very good as it was a long way off and the sky was grey.I think that it may be a merlin.
