I had planned to walk around the Marine Lake, but I arrived by the lake only a hour before high tide, so I had to be satisfied with a stroll along the Parade (just 2 miles and Zero Climb!
However, there were eight Goosanders fishing on the Marine Lake and a Raven foraging on the edge of the Lake.
Other birds seen included: Pied wagtail, Common redshank, Turnstone, Great cormorant, Little egret,  Black-headed gull and Herring gull.
