With the tide low at midday and the forecast set for sunny intervals, light winds and no rain, we set off for Littleferry to stretch our legs along its sands - to have our enjoyment marred by showers, a biting wind, low cloud and....
....another walker. Yes, another walker, with her dog, walking in the same direction as us, on OUR beach!
I am becoming cantankerous in my old age. I don't like it when things don't follow the usual rules. I don't like change, and I particularly don't like it when it involves my favourite things - like a good, long, lonely walk along Littleferry's sands.
To make matters worse, the cloud cover made it difficult to spot the wildlife, much of which had moved to the other side of Loch Fleet because of the crowds of people on our side.
The picture shows part of a raft of about fifty eider, and we also saw the usual oystercatchers, cormorants, gulls and crows; and, just above the high tide line....
....one of Loch Fleet's seal population.
The new camera seems to be offering the same service. Good choice.
