Take 2......

......another day of consummate bad timing, I got to the sea front only to see the sun disappear behind a dirty black cloud (note distinct lack of shadows on above blip).....shots missed include
1...A line of Canada Geese paddling their sedate way Northwards towards the lighthouse (too far out to sea even for full zoom but I've added it as an extra anyway)
2...2 horses bathing their fetlocks in the briny (again, too far away and completely from the wrong angle)
3...2 low-flying swans that came at me from behind and gave me a 'honk' while passing (and by low-flying I mean about 20ft above my head resulting in palpitations on my part!)

There were probably more......

So I went to the Co-op and bought a jar of gherkins......
