Sunny, not too windy and dry - a good start to the new year weather. Bet it doesn't stay dry for long though! 😂
Nothing along the sea front first thing, which wasn't surprising as the high tide was just on the turn as I walked along. Later as the tide recedes the Purple Sandpiper, Turnstones and Sanderling will hopefully be seen.
Two Stonechat in first field and a drake Scaup quite close in were nice additions to the new year list, as was a Water Rail strutting across the path in Heslop's.

The rain has really come down over the last few days and the footpaths are awash. The path to the hide was under water yesterday and wellies were the order of the day, but I didn't have wellies on today so I gave it a miss.

Heslop's footpath a bit damp

New paving stones disappeared under murky water

Can't see the paving stones through the murk

The Purple Sandpipers, Turnstones and Sanderlings have been showing well along the sea front over the last few days so I hope they continue to do so.
