South shore
Both myself (Malcolm) and Janet had a walk along the sea wall, but both were a little early on the ebbing tide. The only bird of note was a 2nd calendar year Mediterranean gull feeding on the seaward side of No1 outflow, then it or another resting between the outflows.
Plenty of insects in the Nature Park though.
