Signs of Spring.....
Although a chilly WNW breeze it amounted to very little and the overcast skies cleared to make it feel very nice out of the breeze.
On the beach the recent tides have covered over a lot of the "rubbish" as well as lots and lots of shells, the wind in the past few days has been in a North to North West direction which seems to have been perfect to create "sand sculptures" a few centimetres high; here come the arty photos.
A "strandline Safari" to look for signs of spring revealed a few specialist creatures including a large ground beetle called, the Strand-line Burrower, Broscus cephalotes (see photo) as well as the Sand Hopper Talitrus saltator, (no photo sorry!)

On the Dunes themselves the Skylarks were in full song with lots of territorial disputes going on, I hadn't realised how much time they spend singing from fence posts!!!
