It's an ill wind...

No good to man or beast the wind from the East or northeast ! It has indeed been an ill wind this past few days and bone chilling on the seafront. Even the Swans have retreated to shelter farther up the river at merryton today, then later in the harbour out of that wind !

The one good thing is the wind blew the litter in the harbour to the southwest corner, so I was able to collect about 80% of it today. I really dislike litter floating around in the harbour, makes a terrible impression and adds to that run down look, besides being bad for the wildlife and environment ! 3 full carrier bags less to worry about, and with the exceptional high tides this coming week I should be able to tidy up along some of the riverside too.
I am hoping spring is soon to be upon us, if the ducks are anything to go by they are already getting frisky and drake fights breaking out all over the place.
I am busy printing out A4 photo's, for next weeks library display which starts on Monday the 8th for one week only. It will cover the past years cygnets, as well as previous wildlife shots which hopefully will please all who see them.
