Cleethorpes Holiday Day 2 - Wednesday

This morning worked out good for me with Abi having a long exhausting bike session yesterday, she seemed reluctant to wake up early this moning and I had been out and about and got back just as Sue was giving here her favourite breakfast - a bacon sarnie.

I'd already had my cornflakes, earlier,  and had to look on in envy.

The tide was more obliging but it was quite a dull damp day and it turned quite wet later on.

Birds:

1st up was a Sparrowhawk soon followed by a Great White Egret to augment the many Little Egret here.

Many lively Redshank, quite close, in the briny pools left by the tide.

2 Knot and a Turnstone were here also.

A long, long way off, inaccessible across the saltmarsh were 1000's of Waders resting on the sea shore.

Others birds seen during the day were:

Cormorant, Mallard, Shelduck, Curlew, Coot, Moorhen, Greylag Goose.

Mute Swan, Meadow Pipit, Skylark, Oystercatcher, Herring Gull, Black Headed Gull....and many too distant to ID.
