I've Been To The Beach Today

[Buenchico]

It was quite crowded!


For example, this youngster was enjoying playing in the sand

This old guy wanted nothing more than a snooze

. . . which seemed to be a popular idea

After all, on a beach one can simply relax with the family

. . . or one can choose to let everyone know just how good looking you are

Nice beach neighbours.

I can smell them from here, they reek of them.

Hopefully, they got to snooze in prace without pesky hoomans annoying them. :-)

I went to the beach today too and saw a lump of beef floating past , well it was a bit Choppy

[Buenchico]

There were about 20 volunteer wardens on duty today, Wolf63, making sure that everyone at the beach kept to the approved paths along the top of the dunes, so that the seals weren't disturbed.

They'd closed some of the usual walking areas off though because some family groups of seals had come further inland than usual. The bull seals can be very aggressive, so much so that the normal weekly counts of seals and pups have been abandoned for now in the interests of the wardens' safety. (At the last count though, a few weeks ago, there were about 4000 seals, including pups, on the beach).

Groan @ Brian ;-)

[pixie374]

Awww, they look relaxed :-)

[Barsel]

These pictures have my seal of approval. :-)

[Buenchico]

They were definitely very relaxed, Pixie. One or two ventured into the water now and then but the vast majority were simply taking it easy.

[Buenchico]

I'm not sure whether to thank you, Barsel, or simply groan ;-)

[Barsel]

Well it wasn't as bad as Brian's.

[Buenchico]

Agreed!

[gness]

When you invited me out for the day, Chris you didn’t say you’d be posting the photos of us!

[Buenchico]

You can join me on a beach any day, Gness - although one with a nice beach bar to hand might be best ;-)

[gness]

I know a great Shebeen by the sea. :-)

[Buenchico]

That doesn't surprise me at all, Gness ;-)

[10ClarionSt]

At least they all looked well wrapped up to be on the beach at this time of year, Chris.

[burlyshirley]

What lovely, lovely pictures. Thank you so much for posting them. Glad they are being protected.
