Last evening's entertainment
Setting off from High Newton
.
We are looking forward
.
To seeing the terns
.
We head down to
.
The beach
.
We have it to ourselves
.
Weather looking good
.
A warden directs us off the beach
.
It belongs to the nesting birds at the moment
.
The wardens guard the place day and night in the nesting season
.
Lots of sightings
.
One good tern deserves another
.
A heavy shower and high winds dampen our spirits
.
Back on the beach
.
We head for Beadnell Bay with another limekiln
.
Ideal for a sheltered coffee stop
.
How many have we now seen?
.
A 1930's house is very striking
.
Sun out again, we are off
.
Enjoying crossing streams
.
And rocks
.
And a golf course with cowslips on the edge
.
High rise accommodation
.
A boat off to the Farne Islands
.
We reach Seahouses
.
Where we vote on stopping for
.
Fish and chips
.
Refreshed, we set off
.
Past a group of eider ducks
.
On to the beach once more
.
Slow, ducks crossing
.
All clear
.
Lots more eider ducks
.
Broken shell patterns in the sand
.
A gentle sea
.
Gosh, it's getting warmer
.
Patterns in the eroded rocks
.
Amongst the rock pools
.
Warm enough for some to paddle
.
Drying the feet is a slight problem
.
Bamburgh Castle
.
Looms over us
.
Another brilliant walk to complete our holiday
.
