With another "lockdown" looming, today was probably my last visit to Brid Harbour until the restrictions are lifted. Priority today, was to get our market stall up and running as we have been banned from standing from close of business today as Christmas cards, greetings cards and Avon products are deemed "non-essential! Markets are probably the healthiest and safest environments to shop at the moment.
Down at the harbour, the tide was high and the wading birds had taken to the sea walls. Quite quiet though on what was a very pleasant late autumn day.
I tracked down a half dozen or so Purple Sandpipers on the west pier wall
Where were the Redshanks? They were tracked down to rear of the fish dock units
Other birds about were Cormorants, Greater Black Backed Gulls, Black Headed Gulls, Herring Gulls and Turnstones. A Rock Pipit flitted around the fish dock, many House Spuggies adorned the Crab / Lobster pots and a couple of Pied Wagtails flew over.
Herring Gull
Hopefully, we will be back IF this "lockdown" is lifted in early December, but I'll not hold my breath. Now it will be back to "exercise walks" door to door from Bempton. Unfortunately, at this time of year, fewer birds are about on the cliffs, so not as exciting as in spring!
Stay safe.
