Yesterday was a trip we were really looking forward to after what has been a really challenging year in so many ways. Emma and Janine have been on a couple of photography holidays that I’ve led since late 2018 and yesterday’s trip was organised for Janine’s birthday. Water and wildlife were the specific requests so I’d discussed how to structure the full day with Sarah and we thought we’d got a workable plan…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started with wildlife; Dunlin, Redshank, Bar-tailed Godwit, Curlew<\/em><\/strong> and Turnstone<\/em><\/strong> all exploiting the rich food supply available on freshly uncovered sand and seaweed as the tide fell. Low-angled sunlight and mirror-calm water were everything we could have wished for and after a morning of wading birds we headed off for an excellent lunch, and outstanding views from our window table, at the Jolly Fisherman<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post-lunch we stretched our legs and walked towards Dunstanburgh Castle<\/em><\/strong> as the tide turned and surf started breaking over the rocks in the foreground while we sat close to the rising water. Juvenile Gannets<\/em><\/strong> were diving offshore and I was thinking that there must be plenty of fish when I spotted a couple of dorsal fins and for the next 5 minutes we watched a group of around 10 Bottlenose Dolphins<\/em><\/strong> that seemed to be on a mission to get somewhere away to the south \ud83d\ude42 Heading back south down the coast our final stop was at Howick Haven\/Rumbling Kern<\/em><\/strong> as the tide started to flood in below the Bathing House<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lovely entertaining clients who are pleasure to spend time with, fantastic light, obliging wildlife and the Northumberland coast. There can’t be many better ways to spend a day \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
