The light changed so rapidly this morning. From dark to this last photo when the sun came out and bathed Salthouse.
He really liked this area for a while this morning.

Managed to get a bit closer today hence the number of photos.
He just wouldn't turn and look at us all standing on the shingle just focussed on the insects over the water.

The whole marsh is resplendent in these fluffy seed heads at the moment.
