Posts about coastal wildlife with history & science mixed in. Seabirds, saltmarsh & shorebirds, particularly on the Solent coast.🐤🌊
Across the Arun at Ford, one of the highlights of the coastal Sussex rail line.

Not a photo.. it's a glorious millpond sea in the Solent harbours this morning. The tide is rising without a ripple 💙

The largest single Kittiwake colony site in Scarborough appears to be the Grand Hotel. Standing tall overlooking the sea like a giant artificial cliff, it's not hard to see why Kittiwakes would choose to make their home here. Nearby buildings (like the Trevelodge) host further colonies. 2/

Some of the many hundreds of Kittiwakes raising families in the heart of Scarborough at present. Red listed in the UK, with an increasingly vulnerable population internationally too, Black-legged Kittiwakes are a familiar sight in a small number of coastal towns. #SuperSeabirdSunday #ReMeMaRe 1/..

The Attenborough nature reserve near Nottingham today. Step out the car & boom, Common Terns flying about calling from the first set of rafts ❤️

A Guillemot chick, high up on the guano painted cliffs. Since hatching, its had fish brought to it here, but soon it'll need to go out to sea to continue feeding & learning. To get there, this little one will need to jump off & tumble into the waves below. Good luck little one. 💙 #SuperSeabirdSunday
