Happy Days, the car passed its MOT with a few advisories. I was told the faults didn't need any immediate attention, but will most likely need doing next year. Best I get saving then.
So having picked the car up I decided to see what was about at Chesil Cove, which yet again was being hammered by strong westerlies.
Mammals Recorded:
2 Grey Seals (Deceased)
The sad sight of a dead Grey Seal and also....
...........another one washed up onto the beach

It wasn't just the seals being washed up onto the beach but also this dead adult Gannet.
A juvenile Pied Wagtail dodging the waves on the beach with........
............this adult being a bit more sensible by sticking to the esplanade.
Further west along Chesil Beach....................
.................. there was a lot of gull activity.
Two Herring Gulls
A juvenile Great Black-backed Gull heading towards one of the dead seals.
And another Great Black-backed Gull also has the same idea.
Fish Recorded:
A little further along the beach this adult and juvenile Great Black-backed Gull have found a dead ray washed up onto the beach
General Shots:
Ted:
ray sp.
General Shots:
That is a fair bit of rubbish washed up onto the beach, including the deceased Grey Seals, Gannet and ray.
And its not just rubbish but also large tree branches finding their way onto the beach.
This doesn't look good. The metal "posts" I assume hold the esplanade in place. Hmm.
And its almost sunset.
Ted:
Poor Ted. It seems he's never off his lead.
