Something of a follow-up to yesterday’s post, but this time from further along the seafront in what is most definitely Hove. This part of the beach is much quieter than the busy Brighton end, and much more relaxing. This is looking back along the front towards Brighton.

And this shot is looking even further west, towards Shoreham which you can see in the distance.

Being the beach there are gulls. Herring gulls mainly. Unlike the ‘Brighton’ gulls these ones tended not to dive bomb every passer-by in the hope of grabbing food; but given the chance the Hove birds do know how scavenge. This mini-flock has just descended on some discarded fish and chips.
