Howdy,
Friends took me to see the seals sunday (25th), first visit for two years. What a vast improvement for those of us who have walking problems. Not sure how long there have been changes to the car park and if it's only temporary for seeing the seals but the old car park is now Blue Badge ONLY! We got there about 2pm and there was lots of spaces and a mobile cafe next to it for those who wanted to use it like my friends. The other mobile cafe is still next to the entrance, didn't see any portaloos at this car park (handy for those of us with Crohn's or similar bowel illnesses) but maybe there were.
It was an enjoyable two hours despite the arthritis playing up in my feet, I was more interested in scanning the foreshore etc, plenty of shelduck, geese, waders, gulls etc. Two lots of lapwings came over east as we were leaving. Next to the path to seals a Kestrel was hovering very low, and we also saw two more on way there. Noticed a bunch of colourful birds flying round and round, thought they may have been snow buntings but alas nay they were goldfinches lol.
It was a bitter cold day with the wind blowing in and frequent showers, most people had their hoods up including me. One guy asked me if there were any Waxies there, said I didn't know but told him to keep an eye out away from the coast and wherever berries are.
Well done to whoever decided to make the old car park BLUE BADGE ONLY if only temporary![:)]( ":)")
Kind regards
Max
