Nearly a week back, and it doesn't take long for normal life to take hold. GCSE exam results have meant I've been in school every day this week. But with the Azores on the horizons, and the larid memories still fresh, here are some photos from the beaches of North Carolina - from around Hatteras Landing and Kill Devil Hills.

I managed a little bit of birding around and about, and bizarrely the grounds of the Wright Brothers Memorial (at Kill Devil Hills) were where I saw the best birds - including Prairie Warbler and Brown-headed Nuthatch. There were a lot of Eastern Kingbirds about, that actually seemed to be on the move, while other highlights included Black-and-white Warbler, American Robin, Willets and Semipalmated Sandpipers. Nothing great, but always nice to see.
