Canada Geese still passing through

Almost breathless again first thing, what movement there was from SW. later a more obvious WSW breeze. Largely overcast but a few sunny spells.

South Shore (MD)

It's been a warm week since the tide was high enough to cover Red Nab. The shallow pool near the sea wall is normally c4x5m, but it has dried to a puddle.

This puddle is all that remains of the pool nearest the sea wall

The good news for the Little Egret is that the shrinking pool is concentrating the remaining fish and shrimps.
