| Beach Buoy and Stubborn Dog arrived in the Car Park at 7-19 pm The regular Little Tern Twitchers were there on the Promenade...they had guests tonight. A boy wobbled past on a bike towards the beach access ramp with his friend perched on the handlebars; people made way. More bikes followed although only one other was fitted with extra child on handlebars. The boys left their bikes in a heap on the access ramp along with their shoes and ouched as they picked their way across the many pebbles on the long trek to the water's edge. |
 |
| A young, very wet and very black Labrador came over to say hello. It was friendly. |
 |
| Certain parts of the beach surface were filled with water, all looking for the low point and a way back out to sea. |
 |
| A large grey ship slipped out of The River Tees almost unnoticed; almost... it headed North then did a U turn and headed South, perhaps they were wishing that the manoeuvre had gone unnoticed too? |
 |
| People came and went; most carrying shoes. All were just silhouettes in the bright lowering light. |
 |
| At times the beach looked like another planet. |
 |
| An Oyster Catcher walked on the water's edge. It seemed to kiss its own reflection as it pecked at the wet shinning sand. |
 |
| It was a relaxing walk back to the van that was parked up at the South end of the village. BEACH BUOY. |
