This one had me puzzled... not the ferry, but the thing that initially had me thinking 'sub!' but quickly revealed itself to be a small boat tugging a larger raft... It appeared to be some sort of crane equipment, but it wasn't transmitting AIS, so the mystery remains.

For the next five weeks, a focus on a surprise visitor outside the Hutch's windows... the Grey Wagtail (which has a lot of yellow). These are on the amber status here, so I begin by giving you a list from the RSPB as to what that entails. 

I was beyond excited, as had not seen this bird before and that it should turn up on the roof over the road - well, I felt blessed. It visited for three days in a row - with its mate, the male, but I didn't get a shot of that, only the female. (The male has a black throat.) It is a restless wee thing, so the photographic offerings are the best of a rather poor lot - I just pointed with both the Hisstix and the Fudge and did what I could through some rain and the double-glazing and against the light. Here is the first in the series.
