Titchwell
And the sun came out after a very grey early morning.

Scything the mud.

Growing up is hard to do.
Mum! Where's my food??
Come on mum.
Get it yourself.
And the temper tantrum ensued.
Black Headed Gull ( Larus ridibundus )
Common Tern ( Sterna hirundo )
Ringed Plover ( Charadrius hiaticula )
Walking down the beach towards Thornham a creek stops one going all the way.
But following the edge of the creek as it turns back towards Titchwell; this wonderful sight appeared in front of me.
Immediately they began to scamper back towards the water.
Thankfully, all it took was to stop and kneel down.
Still visible to them as you can see from the photograph above but enough for them to hold fast.
Gradually they calmed, realising I was going to go any further towards them.
Well, only a little after about fifteen minutes of stillness so I could get clearer pictures.
They continued in their sunbathing and gradually made their way back up the bank to lie on the vegetation.
One or two kept a watchful eye
but sunbathing was the order of day.
Except for one younger one who preferred to splash about in the shallows.
Managed to retire after about an hour without further disturbance.
After about an hour, retired to leave them to their day.
Common Seal ( Phoca vitulina )
Insignificant little plant on the side of the track, but so beautiful.
Hedge Parsley ( Torilis arvensis )
The vertebrae of a dead ?
