She sells strawberries on the seashore

Hello Hello Hivians

A couple of weeks ago I decided to do a quick walk to the beach then to the shop. Whilst getting ready to come home, Mrs T texted where was I and could she come and go for a walk!

I said sure, let's go see the seals. so today for #wednesdaywalk I am going to show you our scramble over the seafront!

So let's head to a suitable starting point on the grass on the Fife coastal trail.

Just look at that bonnie blue sky! Even though it was coming on evening it was still beautiful.

First up was a bunch of gossipmongers! Can you see them all huddled together chewing the fat?

More of them later, as they were too far away for me to hear what they were saying, and they would not turn the volume up when I asked them to!

I did think someone would help me ask the birds...

But no, dad and daughter were just going for a paddle to enjoy the warm water.

Warm haha who am I kidding, although it is September and that is the warmest as it has had all summer to warm up with the sun's rays beating down on it allegedly!

The Fife Coastal Trail

Here we go, proof we are on the Fife Coastal Trail. As the name suggests it does more or less hug the coast, although sometimes with erosions you have to move inland and onto the other side of the traintracks!

On the left was where we had come from. As you can see it was a belter of a day, the last os that little Indian summer spell we had, so there were plenty of people taking advantage of the seaside to enjoy those rays of sun.

On the right was where we were going!

They do have a sort of gritty earthy path that you can use in lieu of being on the beach.

We were sticking to that trail ....for the time being!

Look what we saw though, dirty bastards, if you are out drinking at least take your cans and put them in a litter bin, trying to burn them does not work doh! And why not have a wee fire on the beach it is safer than starting a grass fire.

Funnily enough on the way from our walk (fast forward now) this couple took my words are were just chilling on the beach with a wee fire!

Back to the way we are going though!

You do get to see a variety of pups being walked at all hours of the day on the beach and trail, because yes the tide is out on this walk.

Now first of all we are going to the other side of that ruined giant pier!

There we made it!

So where are the seals?

Said Mrs T!

What the fluff, says I, we are nowhere near them yet!

No seals but plenty more birds. Do you see the cormorant drying her wings. That is what they do extend their wings and let the sun and wind dry their feathers. They are diving birds so do get wet!

Now was time to hit the beach, well rock pools!

Do you like to see what you can find in rock pools?

Did you see the brain in the pool?

That was the question I was asked! What the fluff, let's take a closer look!!!

Fluffed if I knew what it was.

But, it did look the head of a seagull orbird,do you see the face?

One other bird was looking fluffing cute...

In fact this was the first time that I had taken a picture of this particular bird.

My first snapped Curlew

Safe to say I am pretty chuffed with that shot, I actually took three pictures and I will see about making a suitable post for feathered friends community if I see a suitable prompt from @nelinoeva.

It was pointed out that there was a drop of water coming off the beak to add to the stunner of a pic!

Speaking of birds, there are a couple of other species that I snapped.

Oystercatchers! How cool was that, of course as soon as I tried to get closer, then whoosh they flew away.

Are we there yet!
Are we there yet!

Well no not, quite.

That was one hell of a size of tree trunk I can tell you!

Beyond the tower is the land of S.

S standing for seal

and

S for strawberries

What on earth, there were strawberries dotted around the grass!

Well we shall find out more about whether the seals eat the strawberries next week, but in the mean time I leave you with an early evening view.

This concludes my post for this week's #wednesdaywalk challenge hosted by @tattoodjay in collaboration with #makemesmile hosted by @elizacheng.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!
