A Walk Between Meals and Another Bore Slipped By Unnoticed.
A Sunday flypast.
Great cormorants doing what they like to do.

We can't keep still - on watch all of the time - we are the sentinels wherever we are!
Common redshank on the river bank.
A stick riding on the rising tide towards Chester, confirming that I missed seeing the tidal bore once more, assuming that there was one!

Overcast, dry and with a north eastely wind it felt pretty cool, not a day for standing around!
Once again I had hoped to see a tidal bore, but once more it slipped by without me noticing. At least I have learned that when there is a lot of water running off the hills, it results in the bore being suppressed.
Even the birds were quiet today, obviously sheltering from the cold wind.
Birds seen or heard today included: Common blackbird, Euriopean robin, Pied wagtail, Mallard, Teal, Great cormorant, Common redshank, Moorhen, Black headed gull, Herring gull, Common gull, Common starling and Moorhen.
A short but enjoyable walk back in plenty of time to start the Sunday roast.
