'Round the corner'

A combination of beautiful autumn weather and a low tide meant we managed to walk 'around the corner' this weekend. That's the name for the seashore below Cowbar Nab, which is usually covered in surf. As we crept across the slippery rocks, we found a flock of seabirds scurrying around, pecking lunch from the rockpools. We think they're dunlins, which are the birds on our stained glass window at Dunsley (www.dunsleyinstaithes.co.uk). The views were amazing, north toward Saltburn. It was a real treat, especially with the clear blue sky.
