On The Beach and Inland - still very wet

After the torrential rain it was lovely to wander down the promenade this morning with the rising sun off my starboard quarter and a gentle westerly breeze wafting in from....well, from the west 😀

I took my Nikon with me this morning to get a few close ups and views rather than just wildlife. Some of these are actually OK I think.

Groyne looking nice in the orange glow

The orange glow of the sun and the blue sky made a nice contrast

The standing water has receded quite a lot from yesterday afternoon thankfully.

The Sanderlings are back!! 17 of them this morning.

Looks like some of the barnacles on the groynes have been disturbed

15 Whooper Swans flew south - a fantastic sight

After a bit of sea watching (nothing much just a few Auks and the usual Gannets) I walked off to The Mere to see if the redhead Smew was showing.

No sign of the Smew but a Pied Wagtail was on the flooded jetties so practised getting the camera down to eye level with it.
