Keyhaven

Alison and I spent a couple of hours in the rain and wind at Keyhaven near Milford on Sea yesterday. I managed to get some photos of the birds with the best two being the two black headed gulls which obligingly hovered overhead without depositing anything below as I looked up.
There is a photo of a Little Egret which has rather comical looking yellow feet as well as two curlews wading through the tidal mud.

The only other time we've been to this place was a walk organised by grandad in which he nearly killed us with all the small children treking to Hurst Castle across a gravel embankment. It seemed a long way as it was but walking on it was very hard for all of us, especially the little ones. Add to the mix a baking hot summer's day and you can imagine the griping and moaning that accompanied the endurance test. It ranks quite high in my list if least favoured places along with the service station at Knutsford.
