"Joey Cambrai", a newly born military-style #hoodenhorse from Dover: a recent acquaintance from the #hoodeners' meet in #Reculver.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it better focused, but I'm thinking this might be Amara familiaris, as it was in profusion on my walk along the coast last Friday. A species of Amara, for sure, but I read that this one likes the seaside 🙂 #Insects #Beetles #GroundBeetles | #Reculver #Kent #England
This shows why I said it was quite the climb getting up to the third floor of the Reculver Tower yesterday. Three flights of a very narrow spiral staircase! 😅 Matthew did give me a smile when I said the word 😁 #ReculverTowers #Reculver #Kent #England
I quite like this photo I took at full zoom on my phone yesterday of a cormorant at rest on a navigational marker. It's unedited, but what with the strong wind, and the distance, I wasn't able to get it more clearly in focus 😔 #GreatCormorant | #Sea #Reculver #Kent #England | #birdsoftheworld #birds
I spent a great afternoon today with a friend exploring around the Reculver Towers, near Herne Bay, Kent. Somewhere I haven't visited for years. We even got to climb one of the towers! #ReculverTowers #Reculver #HerneBay #Kent #England
Reculver Towers, last lights of the day.
