29, JUNE 2026. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.


 
Monday evening.
Just a walk to the stack to get some steps in.
It was 6-54.
Another Dog wasn't so sure that it was a good idea...
They headed south.
Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones.
It was overcast, warm with a breeze from the west.

A Dad with a metal detector searched the dune edge.
His young daughter did cartwheels and rolled down the dunes slopes like a barrel.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked the low level route.
He added two sturdy stones to the sea defence.
Nearby a couple sat on a dune slope with loud music for company.



"Evening Mate."
It was 7-26.
He added the five suitable stones.
He patted 
THE
stone.
He had the driftwood seat with an elevated view.

He watched the sea.

"See you mate."

Back along the water's edge.
Dune Tunes drifted out to sea.

The tide was heading out.
The wreck was coming ashore once more.

27, JUNE 2026. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.

 Words to add...






















Bob the Gull was walking the beach.


Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones.


A Couple and their dog had a paddle in the shallows.

















A tall man and his tiny dog headed south along the water's edge.
Team One Black Ear were up near the grey rocks.


A Ship headed to the River Tees.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked the low level route.
He added two sturdy stones to the sea defence.



Up the small slope.



"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.




Beach Buoy patted
THE
stone.




A Magpie seemed to be waiting.


It moved closer to Stubborn Dog Stack.
Had it been watching the Crows?


















Gannet.






Today's beach clean.
Beach Buoy was chatting to Cabin Colin when a Kestrel shot by.
It wasn't much above head height.
He has never seen on so clearly or closely.


Kestrel attack on Little Tern Nest Site.
It had climbed as it passed over the Esplanade Wall.
It was immediately surrounded by Little Terns.
It didn't hover.
It just fell directly onto the nest site.


The Little Terns swooped all around the Kestrel whilst it was on the sand.


The Kestrel took off, flying south.
It wasn't clear if it had taken chick or not?


It landed on a nearby roof.
