Sunday Stroll

Crossing the bridge today was doubly rewarding, not only were the terns in evidence overhead but I got a close-up view of the John Howe on the outward journey from the railway museum.



Not as many gulls as usual up in the Albert Edward dock, the usual mix of blackheaded, blackbacked, common and herring, along with half a dozen mallard ducks, 3 cormorants, the terns and 3 coots. Amazingly, the coot nest seems to have survived the recent high winds, one coot was sitting and the other patrolling nearby.



On my way home I got an added bonus, also seeing the train on the return journey.
