South shore (Malcolm)
A walk along the sea wall on the rising tide.
The Brent geese flew from the north side to Red Nab at 09:50. They didn't stay long on Red Nab as they had already moved on when I walked back. There is more sea lettuce high up the shore towards Potts corner, and only gutweed on Red Nab.
