Bad rain today so not worth going out for me. Thought I would upload a set of 5 shots of the old Jetty @ Snettisham. We all take photos of it in it's various moods & tide states. first 3 taken with my Panasonic over several years, the last two taken in March this year with the P1000 just before I went into lockdown for 3 months!
This old Jetty was destroyed in the very big tidal surge January 1953 & is slowly getting worn down by the big seas when we have another storm. I do have an album of shots of this jetty over several years entitled "In memory of January 31st !953"

A common Gull seen all over in UK. No new bird photos to post but I liked the texture of the rusted iron bracket & old post on the ruined jetty @ Snettisham in this shot

Last evening sunset was just after high tide, so I went down the beach to try for a few photos of the birds disturbed by incoming tide flying in the sunset

Almost all available nesting spots on the pool islands are now taken by 1000's of Black-headed gulls. This pair chose a high rise spot on the ruins of the old jetty (destroyed in 1953 tidal surge). I liked the contrast between thr birds, ruins & mud

Went down the beach yesterday evening as high tide & sunset were close together. As often happens here cloud & mist obscured the actual sunset. Another shot of the old jetty destroyed in 1953 tidal surge
