Fencing

Had a fabulous walk along the river Teign estuary this morning, set off about 8.30 got back to the car at 12.15. We were'nt rushing, in fact I was beach cleaning. Not planned but the unused doggy poo bag came in very useful, I fortunately came across a large polythene bag so I carried on collecting, then came across one of those orange traffic bollards that had been washed up so that then became the vessel of transportation. I was also checking out the birds on the estuary, & throwing the ball for Yogi obviously. The litter consisted mainly of sweet wrappers, drinks cans, plastic bottles, plus a large quantity of tangled ropes. My prize find was a beautiful rusty plough blade. Goodness knows how that got down onto the riverside. I would have loved to bring that back home with me but alas it was too heavy for me to carry & my arms were full anyway. I'm still trying to think of a way to retrieve it :) My other great find was a £5 note all scrunched & dirty, but its one of the "new" ones so washed up well. That was lucky, as I was going to walk back the lanes, but they would have been hilly & as I was loaded up with rubbish I decided to return the way I came, that's when I spotted the fiver. My reward for picking up the rubbish I reckon :)
I counted 19 swans, 3 cormorants, a heron, 3 Little Egrets, 2 pairs of ducks that I have yet to identify, plenty of gulls of 1 kind or another, plus some small seabirds in flight that I am unfamiliar with. My zoom is'nt amazing so did'nt get any close shots that might help.
Yogi had lots of fun, but did get rather muddy & smelly, so he had a shampoo when we got back home. All the rubbish sorted, some disposed off, some on the washing drying after a thorough clean :)
Another day nearly over. What will tomorrow bring I wonder. There was a fabulous sky here at 05.04 this morning, had to nip downstairs and get my camera.
Right, I'm gone.
