Picnic

Dashing about the place again but once more I find myself eating my lunch on the beach.

A day late for the blipnic but it's too nice a day to eat at my desk. Which is what I would have done if I'd gone straight back. So I took 15 minutes and ate my lunch on a beach.

I had sat in the shelter of an old gun emplacement to keep the wind from covering my sandwich in sand (seems odd to write that) and it proved to also hide me from lots of passing birds. Terns, oystercatchers, black back gulls, swallows, ravens, ringed plovers, scarfies, eider ducks - all sorts of things didn't notice I was there. Sadly my camera wasn't close enough to do them justice.

So I made do with the leavings from one of their lunches.
