Bosham Gull

The sun was shining, and it was reasonably warm, so a day at the coast was called for.  I jumped into the car which almost by autopilot made its way to one of my favourite spots on the West Sussex coast at Bosham.  

It took a while, but after spending the day wandering round the creek and harbour enjoying the fresh air, sunshine and views, I eventually realised that something was missing;  there were virtually no boats moored and the harbour itself was empty. I guess with the storms of last week everything have been moved to a safe haven.  Instead there was an enormous flock of Brent Geese honking and feeding on the shoreline, and occasionally taking flight to create what looked like a mini murmuration.

I ended back at the village for an afternoon treat of white chocolate and raspberry ice cream.  My final shots of the day were of a dozen of so young swans feeding on the incoming tide near the harbour, accompanied by gulls, and the latter gave me my shot of the day.
