A Walk to the Far South

[enitharmon]

It being as perfect a day as one could wish for in the middle of October (and if the weather is right there is no better month for it), I walked the eight kilometres down the beach to the bird reserve at the south end. When I got there I chatted with the warden for a while and then walked back up the beach, with the tide coming in. It was a four-and-a-half hour outing and it was exhilarating.

I'm no twitcher but without binoculars I recognised with certainty the following birds:

Herring gull
Curlew
Dunlin
Sanderling
Oystercatcher
Ringed plover
Shag
Goldfinch

PS - I forgot to mention that there are more pictures here!

Nice pictures I wish I had the time to get down there.
