Left urban seagulls nesting in Blackwall Reach.
FIND THE BABY BLACKBIRD
This one had fallen from the nest and was sitting on the lawn looking sorry for itself so I moved it to the cover of the shrubs where mum and dad soon found it. It was mainly dad who fed it over the coming days, scuttling in and out of the shrubs.
A warm sunny day and it felt brave enough to venture into the wide world - well the garden, to sunbathe.
THE CRANES
FROM CHINA ARRIVE AT THE OUTER HARBOUR
Left is the ship that brought the two cranes from China docked in the outer harbour. See how the cranes dwarf the Pier Hotel. Right are the cranes waiting to be offloaded when these gigantic metal monsters will dominate the the whole area.
The boat which brought the cranes from China docked in the outer harbour. Length 235m. Picture courtesy of the Mercury.

SEEN ON GORLESTON BEACH RECENTLY This fisherman is trying out a prototype method of kite fishing. The reel at the bottom right corner houses the nylon line attached to the kite which carries the tackle out to sea that he releases when it is the distance from the shore he requires . The kite is then reeled in and he waits for the giant cod out there to take the bait. |
Leaving on the evening tide.

I have just been sent
these two terrific photos. by Bjorn Abrahamsen, her present skipper in
Norway of the last sailing trawler to fly the "Short blue". She is the
Boy Leslie sold by the Hewett family before WW2 to Norway. She survived as a cargo vessel before being restored back to her sailing trawler rig and layout. She is seen here racing in a traditional regatta in Denmark. Click here to see the "Short Blue" Story
