A couple of quick shots of Eastbourne Pier taken at lunchtime today.
A few gulls were pecking on the shingle beach (but nothing worth photographing), and a pigeon landed on railings near where I was standing. 
More rain forecast for tomorrow, so another quiet day is on the cards.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

The Pier's not exactly thronged with holiday-makers at this time if year, is it?
Has that pigeon got a ring?
Looks like a spring has already come to England :left:
Spring?! It's freezing out there :smurf:
Interesting to see Eastbourne Pier. Unfortunately I haven't seen much of the town except the station yet (it would be nice if someone could schedule a Hastings – Brighton train that doesn't loiter in Eastbourne, I have to say). The pier looks in good shape compared to many others around the south coast.
Darko, and gone again. 🙁
dW, no ring on the pigeon (I checked). It is quiet at this time of year, and it was a cold day as well. It gets busier as the weather warms up.
Adele, I always find it strange that the Brighton-Hastings train has to reverse out of Eastbourne and go back the other way. :confused: The Eastbourne pier is faring rather better than many. I think the plans for Hastings pier are progressing and I hope they have more success than the Brighton West Pier has had over the years.
More icy weather on the way. Winds heading due south from the Arctic by mid-week. :smurf:
looks like vacationland to me!
Kathy, there are a lot of holiday towns along the coast here. If only we had decent weather it would be perfect.
