Birds, flowers and the coastal landscape during my first evening and next morning's wander around and near Berwick Holiday Park - 14th/15th June 2024

I arrived in Berwick-upon-Tweed on Friday afternoon and, after I had settled into the mobile home and had something to eat, I went for a walk along the coastal path at the edge of the park.

Some people were lucky enough to afford to be positioned on the cliff-top with a view of the sea

A Rock Pipit was perching on the fence and singing so much that it did not notice me!

For a moment, a distant fishing boat was lit up by the late evening sun

I love Foxgloves - growing in the same area on the way into town

Birds at Church Farm Holiday Park and Pagham Harbour - 22nd March 2024

I arrived at Church Farm Holiday Park in Pagham for a week's holiday at lunchtime on 22nd March, which was a very overcast day.  I was too early to check into my mobile home so I wandered round the site and Pagham Lagoon for a couple of hours.

They looked very nice, but I could not afford to stay in a mobile home at the edge of the lagoon!

I think that this was meant to be a footpath at the edge of the lagoon
