It's not been a great start to the year, weather-wise. Rain, rain, and more rain just about sums it up. It was not much better yesterday, (New Year's Eve); but 'not much' was enough to take the camera down to Rottingdean and see what was lurking in the grey. The sea was 'heavy', and the tide was in.

And this being Rottingdean, the fulmars were abundant.

The cormorants were keeping further out to sea, but a small group did venture slightly closer to the shore.
<\/span> <\/p>\n

And right on the shoreline, a lone oystercatcher came in to feed among the herring gulls.

Just before I left, the sun briefly showed beneath the cloud bank.

The sun hasn't been seen since! It would be really nice if we could have it back. Please! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Oh, and of course, a Very Happy New Year! :hat:
