Maryport, A coastal visit

while still in bed this morning, I could see the sun beckoning through the curtains. However it took me some time to get myself organised, the usual early morning ablutions, breakfast, feed the Dogs, and finally we are out in the sunshine.  Aah but one more Job before we can hit the road, defrost the car. Yes it was one of those rare mornings of this winter when there had been a frost, and all windows needed to be cleared.
     Finally we have bins on the flood/flash, did I say we, that should have been "I" as the Westies have not yet found the money to buy their own bins,  only joking. There was quite a bit of activity this morning, with 3 variety of Gulls, Black-headed, Herring and Common on show ,plus the two Oystercatchers that have been with us for a few weeks now, and lastly 4 Lapwing.
     After walking the dogs I decided to make my way over to Maryport, to see what was on offer there, plus 2mins from there and I can be with my old workmate Keith, as He has now started a new carving business on his own.  follow the link to see some of his work.---- http://www.cumbriancarvings.com/  and if you see anything you fancy give him a call.
     So first stop Maryport beach, not a great deal about but I enjoyed what I found, hope you do.

 

Apart from a few gulls this was the best on offer, a small mixed flock of Oystercatchers and Turnstones, like myself, enjoying the sun.

The tide was coming in at a good speed , so the birds where being push further up the beach with each wave.

 

There's always one that's got to be different.

I like the foam in this one.

 

I like this, the droplets look as though they are suspended.

and in passing,

People fishing from Maryport pier, and cars are allow right to the end.

Thank you for looking in, hope you enjoy,Gordon.  Linking to Stewarts Wild Bird Wednesday.     http://paying-ready-attention-gallery.blogspot.co.uk/
