Seagulls

The highest of high tides and loads of noisy seagulls today. We kept our distance, not wanting to disturb them, and headed to the left of the shot where, once over the sand dunes and closer to the mouth of the river, the sound of the waves lapping the shore was captivating. Every other time we've been here, there has been grass, then sand, then mud before any water. Not today; a thick layer of dry, crackling driftwood hid the sand in parts, but otherwise everything was covered by sea.
