Swimmers.....well, dippers really.

We went for a walk at Hoylake this morning which was very pleasant. We had just missed high tide so there wasn't many birds about. The few remaining oystercatchers and redshanks were scared off by the multitude of dog walkers on the beach. These two people looked like they were doing some fundraising for a cancer charity. I'm not sure what, but they only lasted about 2 minutes in the water and then came out again whilst someone was filming them with a phone. 
We walked up past Meols and back again and then dropped in at Parkgate to try and find the Redwings that normally frequent the back field. No such luck, but a lovely few hours out in the sunshine. 

Here's wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas.
