Harbour Watch

I Parked up in the sports club car park just as the sun was rising and met with Stewart. Cold and still almost dark. We walked along the cycle path towards the Aln Estuary, we attempted to photograph a very obliging Little Grebe that was fishing either side and beneath the small wooden bridge that crosses the stream running into the estuary from Bilton. Low light and unforgiving cold on gloveless fingers fumbling with camera controls meant that I had limited success, well no success actually.

After viewing the estuary from the village we headed off down the coast to check Gulls in Amble Harbour.

Plenty of birds to be seen in and around the Harbour but this lovely Maditerranean Gull was particularily pleasing and allowed close approach for photographs.
