I spent most of the morning from 6.30 onwards staking out the Rollers on their favourite perches.  Still a bit of work to do and a bit more patience will see some great shots…..but so far they are not too bad.  I really like the Myna Bird feeding his fledgling as well.  The light here is incredible for photography.  

For those of you that know me well, you will know that I planned to throw a cross with the names of my friends killed by the  IRA in 1989 in to the surf as a mark of remembrance on this Remembrance Day.  Incidentally this is the first time since 1965 that I have not been on parade of some kind on Remembrance Sunday, so I went down to the beach and had my own!   My hymns were The Day though Gavest Lord is Ended and Abide with Me which I hummed quietly to myself.  I stuck my memorial cross in to the sand and then waited for the surf to come and claim it, it was all very nice, beautiful and serene. They are always remembered.
