A Different Approach

I tried new tactics this morning regarding the now defunct Sewage Plant. The tide had just turned, so I was able to dodge the receding waves as I headed north along the beach from the Runnel. It was a beautiful day with little wind and temperatures in the low 20's. A good day for a dog to go swimming. He needed no encouragement!

As I approached the extinct outlet pipe...


...I remembered Richard's message from Monday informing me he'd seen a Common Sandpiper here. As I scanned a small wader came into view with a distinctive "flicking wing" action. No doubt...a/the Common Sandpiper (P.126, H.119)...


The erosion throws up some interesting shapes...

Not quite Monument Valley!
