I like to watch the tides. Not literally, but the forecasts which let you know when the tide is in or out, and how high or low it will be. Today, with a very low tide predicted for the end of the day – plus some sunshine – it was a good day to see which of the wading birds would be around.

Up on the cliffs, the fulmars were enjoying the view.

If you want to check your own local tides, use the EasyTide<\/a> site. It's global and once you've found your local water you can just bookmark the relevant page and time your excursions with confidence. \ud83d\ude42
