Harbour Seal, Butcher's Falls and Ipswich Sparrow

April 04, 2019  •  Leave a Comment

Winter's icy grip is slowly receding and humans can get out and about again onto the beaches and into the woodlands.

Butcher's Falls is a common destination although I do not recommend a weekend visit. There is still some ice and snow but photographically is still very pleasant.

A visit to Crystal Crescent Beach provided a modelling harbour seal and another Ipswich Sparrow. Not to worry folks that's only sand in and around the seal's eye.

Harbour Seal

I was about twenty(20) feet from the seal when I took these photos.
