Photographs taken of the fauna and flora found on Coatham Marsh, Redcar. [bryan0755@gmail.com)
Friday 30th June
Looked like it was going to be a nice day for our walk but half way round it clouded over and the wind got up. Still we shouldn't complain. There are plenty of people who don't have access to a facility like Coatham Marsh. There was a large flock of Black Headed Gulls on the west lake, why they are called black headed I don't know, when there heads are clearly brown.
Met the Trust peeple deciding where to instal some cycle racks!
Enjoy todays photos, I've included a current favourite of mine!

What a glorious day, sunshine, light breeze, what more could we ask for? The marsh was busy today, plenty of people enjoying the sunshine. Took a few moments to watch the swifts acrobatically skimming over the 'Fleet', every now and then one would just touch the water. I presume it was taking an insect and not having a drink. Shared a bottle of water with Holly, we were both panting in the heat. Took a couple of good photos today, hope you enjoy them?

Lovely day for a walk! Got some good photographs of flora and insects. Spoke to a gentleman looking for orchids and was able to point him in the right direction. Hope he found them?
Spent half an hour following a butterfly (see pictures), much to Holly's frustration at all the stopping and starting, she eventually wandered off in search of rabbits. I was the more successful.
Enjoy today's offering.

8:00am today which seems early. Good still morning for a walk and too take some pictures. Took some photos of the litter that I mentioned yesterday but I will not clutter up this site with them. No reply from my email to Corus, perhaps they are not so environmentally active as their publicity would have you believe!
Anyhow enjoy today's photos.

Rubbish Rubbish everywhere!!!!!!!!!
Today our walk was spoilt because of the rubbish left behind by the Corus Anglers. In protest I have emailed the HQ of Corus.
I should have taken photo's and I probably will go back and do so. You can put up with a certain amount of rubbish, but you shouldn't have to. However when they start bringing mini barbecue sets and leave them behind with uncooked food along with plastic lemonade bottles and carrier bags strewn everywhere, its time for action. In future I shall take registration numbers and photographs.
Rant over, enjoy photos and have a look at my other site (link: 'Visit My Photo Gallery')
