message in a bottle, buzzard and beach

today we found a message in a bottle ... how fun ... Maya was so excited :)







it had been set to see about 7 days earlier an hour north from where we found it ... so it did not travel far but it was such a fun find anyway filled with a letter, toy goodies and a contact email ..




after a heavy storm last night lots of interesting creatures had been stranded .. this We think is a dogfish a kind of shark ... need to research a bit more



small but sharp nevertheless







it had the most beautiful markings



and the snowdrops alongside rhe river are out in full force





managed to get out at low tide and were greeted with lots of sandy banks



and birds galore


also found a buzzard who had ended its life near the playground .. Maya decided to study it .. researching how to preserve wings and talons and is hoping to retrieve the skeleton head



the wings soaking in salted water for 2 weeks





chasing seafoam in the wind


a mermaids purse catching a bot of sun




and a seagull finding its resting place




quietly watching a little sandpiper bird catching prey on the incoming tide
