SEATON SANDS , HARTLEPOOL. 05-JUNE 2018.

BEACH BUOY AND TWO DOGS ARRIVED AT 19-09.
TWO SMALL BLACK DOGS HAD BEEN EXCITEDLY RUNNING AROUND THE CAR PARK IN THE BRIGHT SUN; THEY LOOKED LIKE DOUBLE  SHADOWS.
THREE CHILDREN AGED ABOUT 8,7 and  2  PLAYED ALONE ON THE BEACH. WHILST THEIR GROWN UPS SAT IN THE CAR, OUT OF SIGHT OF THEM!

THE SUN WAS FINALLY OUT BUT THE BREEZE WAS STILL VERY FRESH OFF THE SEA; BEACH BUOY WAS GLAD THAT HE HAD WRAPPED UP.
THERE WAS HEAT IN THE SUN, SO ONE SIDE OF HIS FACE WAS WARM, THE OTHER CHILLED BY THE BREEZE.


IT WAS AROUND TWO HOURS TO HIGH TIDE.
BEACH BUOY WAS MORE A TIDE GOING OUT PERSON THAN A TIDE COMING IN PERSON.
THEY HEADED TO THE GARE, HE NOTICED THE WHITE OF THE SEAGULLS STANDING IN THE SAND IN THE FAR DISTANCE. THEY GLOWED IN THE BRIGHT SUNLIGHT. THEY TOOK FLIGHT LONG BEFORE BEACH BUOY ARRIVED.
A PLANE LEFT A STRAIGHT, BRIGHT, WHITE VAPOUR TRAIL ACROSS THE LIGHT BLUE SKY LIKE A ZIP ON A PAIR OF FAVOURITE DENIM JEANS. 

THE WAVES WERE BREAKING WAY OFFSHORE, GULLS WERE HAVING A FEEDING FRENZY AROUND THE SEA SERPENT MARKER.
AGAIN THEIR WHITENESS GLOWED  IN THE SUNLIGHT AGAINST A BACKDROP  OF A SKY BLUE SKY AND REGALLY BLUE SEA. A TINY BOAT BATTLED THE WAVES TO CROSS THE BAY. IT REPEATEDLY  DISAPPEARED BEHIND HUGE WAVES, WHEN IT REAPPEARED IT'S SMALL WHITE CABIN LOOKED LIKE A ROUGE WAVE ITSELF!

THE CHOPPY SEA HAD WASHED UP MORE DRIFTWOOD.

PEOPLE WERE COMING AND PEOPLE WERE GOING.
IT WAS HARD TO GIVE ANYONE A WIDE BERTH AS THE TIDE WAS ALMOST HIGH; MAKING THE BEACH QUITE NARROW FOR THOSE WANTING SPACE.

THE WAVES ROLLED IN.

SO DID THE BALLOONS.





... AND PLASTIC!

A DEAD BIRD HAD A RING MARKER!
Addition...Thanks to @ArthurFitzsimm9 and shag@ceh.ac.uk  The Bird is a Shag it was ringed as a chick 23 06 17 on Inchkeith, Firth of Forth.

BEACH BUOY ADMIRED THE CLOUD FORMATION AS HE HEADED BACK
THE TEAM RESTED UP ON THE PROMENADE DOWN BY THE RAMP.
A MAN CYCLED PAST TOUCH THE DEAD END WALL OF THE  PROMENADE.
HE WORE PERFECT CAMOUFLAGE FOR DUNE WARFARE!
SANDY BEIGE SHORT AND A GRASS GREEN JUMPER.
