We walked along an almost deserted beach at low tide in the late afternoon, briskly on our way out to work up some warmth in the chill easterly breeze, and more slowly homeward, searching amongst the small boulders exposed by the sea....
....for any wildlife feeding in the weed. There were common gulls aplenty and....
....the occasional oystercatcher, noticeably singly or in pairs instead of the large groups of winter, but none of the redshanks that often feed with them.
Nor was there any sign of ringed plovers or sanderlings, their place being taken by a small group of turnstones, a bird we haven't seen in some weeks, not yet fully into their summer plumage.
