A rainy day at the beach but always something to see.
Lesser Black-backed Gull slightly smaller than a herring gull, the lesser black-backed gull has a dark grey to black back and wings, yellow bill and yellow legs.
Blackheaded Gulls, but as you can see from my pictures are more a chocolate-brown, once out of the breeding season and for most of the year their heads are mostly white.
Cormorants are great fish catchers and have a primitive appearance.
Coots are members of the rail family and are commonly seen in the UK.
The Common Linnet is a small passerine bird of the finch family. Males, as pictured below, are attractively marked with crimson foreheads and breasts.
Continued Reflections from my world. 
The Cormorants and Gulls decided to perch on a surface smaller than their feet could handle, but they had no issues hanging on it seems. I was speaking to a fellow walker today and said he finished a book and I should get it as I liked nature. He gave me the gist of it and I decided to order it. It may interest you too Andy. Here is the name: “Wilding” by Isabella Tree. Here is a story on it as well: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jun/28/wilding-isabella-tree-review-farm-return-nature

I like how the Cormorants can fold their feet around the post, thanks for the link Linda

Yes, it makes you wonder how Cormorants hold on just by curling their toes Andy. I like when they dry their wings – they remind me of a vampire with outstretched arms which opens the black cape. We have lots of costumes for vampires around Halloween. I thought the book sounded like something you’d like – I ordered it based on this fellow walker’s recommendation. In fact, he looked for me yesterday just to tell me he had just finished this great read. I may not read it until Winter due to more walking and picture-taking, garden work, etc. (not to mention blogging).
