| Beach Buoy had done an early morning beach. By evening rain came... droplets had formed on the regularly waxed van. The Sun came out and so did Beach Buoy. After a short drive to the Beach Car Park the dashboard was saying that it was 1958 but it was a VW Van not a Delorean so it just meant two minutes to 8pm. Black-headed Gulls strutted around the Car Park, they looked like they had donned Balaclavas, ready to do a heist; The Great Chip Robbery? Beach Buoy doesn't know much about bird types so he did a little research and was surprised at how many Gull types are seen in the UK. Mediterranean Gull. Herring Gull The hard of Herring Gull.. goes around calling "Pardon?☺️ Yellow-legged Gull Iceland Gull Glaucous Gull Common Gull Lesser Black-backed Gull Greater Black-backed Gull Lesser Flat-packed Gull .. although these are self assembly. Do check that you have all of the parts if you should buy one, as many packs have a leg missing... you may have seen one of these Gulls?☺️. They clambered out of the Van, then it began..... People sat in their cars watching the promenade show, so Stubborn Dog decided it was time for that comedy duo; Drag & Carry. He wouldn't budge! This comedy duo were no stand up comedians, more your lay flat type. Eventually they reached the beach and Stubborn Dog walked normally; well..... normally for him! |

| The sun had headed for Saltburn and Staithes, leaving cloud in its wake. |
 |
| It looked like the rain may return; it didn't. |
 |
| They headed south. The tide was well out. They passed a Lone Fisherman. It was him, them and a jogger, that was it on the beach tonight. Down by the North Gare, around a dozen gulls.. (take pick from list above) ran around as though they were chasing an invisible football. Like school kids they were all in one area; midfield. None were on the wing☺️. It was canny evening with a lovely fresh breeze off the sea. |
 |
| They wandered up into the dunes. A Rusting Oil Rig decayed beyond the dunes. |
 |
| They did a bit of a dune walk on the way back. |
 |
| The earlier rain had brought the snails out. It can't be easy for a Snail on the sand? |
 |
| The maker marks the home of The Sea Serpent. |
 |
| They passed the Lone Fisherman |
 |
| Back to the North and the van... |
 |
| New drinks bottle and an old dashboard Monkey. BEACH BUOY. |
