Saturday morning was overcast but quite mild. I didn't really have a plan so just cycled east to find somewhere to have breakfast.
So with no plan, I hadn't any great expectations. But as so often happens, these days turn out the best.
After pedalling along the coast I turned around then cut around Torness on the way home.
The tide was at low springs with expanses of kelp exposed. I sat down on the rocks and got the coffee brewing on the stove.
Out amongst the weed the shore birds were searching for grubs and then I caught sight of something special. Just a ripple in the water but I followed it and was so lucky to sit enjoying my breakfast and watch an otter feeding.
Awesome, Peter.
ReplyDeleteI reckon you got great service at that breakfast nook :)
Peace :)
Hi Chandra, yup I'll be going there again.
Delete...an otter definitely beats my seal I saw on Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWe have a few grey seals that hang around the harbour. No common seals though. An otter was pretty special.
DeleteGreat you saw one there Ped!, had heard they are there!
ReplyDeleteI've heard that the otters bread last year so sightings might become more common. I think I spent more time watching them than I spent cycling.
