This morning was a high tide at Frampton Marsh, 8.1metres, which brings the water all the way across the Wash and up to our sea wall. It’s a bit grey out there but I wrapped up warmly to venture out at 8.30 and it was definitely worth the chills.
I was only out for about 15 minutes, and wasn’t really concentrating as 8.30’s still pretty early for me, but I saw 18 species!

And...as I was coming back down the track, a peregrine flew over head!
Not a bad start to the day.
