5,JULY 2026. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.


Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the beach.
It was 5-31 a.m.
 

They headed to the beach.
Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones as the Little Terns chattered overhead.


The Silent Stone.
Deemed more than suitable to be one of the five for Stubborn Dog Stack.

They headed south.

The tide was well in.

There was a breeze from the west.

It was overcast.


No one to the north.


Team One Black Ear were to the south.
It looked like they had company?


Gulls were scattered along the dune edge like litter.
There was a hint of a Moon above the dunes.


Milo, the borrowed dog was back in town.
Half dog, half Seal judging by the amount of time spent in the sea.
Team One Black Ear stopped to chat.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the low level route.


Garden Tiger Moth Caterpillar.
Known as Wooly Bear.
It was walking the low level route too.

A Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly hung nearby on the dune edge.

Beach Buoy collected two sturdy stones.
He added them to the sea defence.


Up the small slope to the stack.


More new names added to Stubborn Dog Stack.
All welcome.


Magpies.
Keeping an eye on Beach Buoy.


"Morning Mate."
It was 6-33.
Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.
He patted
THE
stone.
He topped up the wildlife fresh water bowl.
It was almost empty.

He had a sit and a think.

He scattered some seeds for the Birds, Crows or Magpies.

"See you mate."
He went to the low level route.
Phone camera at the ready.
The Magpies don't hang around.
They didn't.

A young lady walked the low level route.
"Morning."
"Morning."
Beach Buoy felt the news to explain why he was loitering.
"Filming the Magpies."

Beach Buoy and Another Dog returned to the north.
The lady who walks the full length of the beach was just reaching the grey rocks.
"Morning."
"Morning."


She turned back to the north.
The Beachcombing Border Collie Couple led the way.

The lady with a dog called Ted passed by.
"Morning."
"Morning."


Beach Buoy began a beach/dune clean.


52 items.

Some small.

Vapes.

Lighters.

Bottle tops.

That's most of the end of exam mess taken care of.

Others have done their bit.

No doubt, more summer holidays mess to come.

4, JULY 2026. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.



Saturday morning.
Beach Buoy went to the beach alone.
He collected five suitable stones.

 
























EAST
YORKSHIRE 
ROCKS 😃 
 
 apparently.










The beach fisherman worked his way south.


Beach Buoy walked the low level route.
He added two sturdy stones to the sea defence.
Up the small slope to Stubborn Dog Stack.


"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy patted
THE
stone 
He added five more.
He topped up the wildlife water bowl.
It was good to see that something had been making use of it.
The level was down.
Down more than evaporation alone.
He scattered some seeds.


He looked to the north.


He made his way to the driftwood seat with an elevated view.


Time to sit and think.







No sooner had Beach Buoy returned to the low level route, then a Magpie appeared for breakfast.

















Despite the big aerial, the Kestrel received a poor reception from the Little Terns.
They bullied it away from the nest site.
They kept dive bombing it on the roof.
Last seen heading in land with an escort of Little Terns.






42 items beach clean.
