A visit today with Tracey mainly for a trip out in the continuing nice weather saw us having a lovely day despite the cold northerly wind.
As we made our way along the Brigg it soon became apparent there was quite a swell on the sea,with some impressive breakers hitting the Brigg and we spent some time photographing this impressive sight.
A few birds on Carr Naze included a couple of juvenile Stonechat and a Yellow Wagtail,with a Wheatear bombing past us as we made our way down to the shoreline.
More bird sightings ensued along and off the Brigg,with Arctic and Common Terns present,with a small group of Sandwich Terns fishing in the bay.
The best of the birds here,flew north,a smart Sooty Shearwater,my first of the year.
A small group of Common Scoter,2 Eider,Dunlin,Redshank and a cracking summer plumaged Grey Plover were also seen.
Then it was back to attempting to photograph the waves crashing on the Brigg,an amazing,if not slightly scary sight at times,as huge waves powered over the reefs.
Soon it was time to head home after a really enjoyable walk here,a place we have spent many a happy hour over the years and I'm sure we will be back again soon.
