Goodbye to Coquet Island

Another view of Warkworth Castle from the edge of the river Coquet

Back in Berwick-upon-Tweed, I went for an evening stroll along the coast and saw this rabbit on the grass

Common Mergansers (Goosanders) were resting in shallow water near the beach


I saw this Merganser during a walk along the promenade to Berwick Lighthouse
