We have a winter course this Sunday 17th January… so Tricia dropped me off at the top of Port Mulgrave to walk down with the first load of supplies and check the hut over… but it was really just an excuse to be able to walk home along the foreshore… the weather was glorious… sharp… clear & beautiful sunshine…
with so much snow inland and with the cliffs and foreshore been clear it seems that every bird has come to us… I saw a woodcock… lots of shore pippets… oyster catchers by the bucketful… curlew & whimbrels are becoming quite common…and too many others to mention…
but of course been a fisherman at heart there is only one thing better.. when beach combing… than finding a fender and that’s finding two…
but didn’t see my old friend the peregrine…
