monday 16th febuary 2009, day 2 of the holiday

day 2 and we decided to go to arnside via the train. this ivolved us going over morcambe bay via bridge. this ment we got to see all the shelducks and redshanks on the way there. once there we began walking.
   
a pretty song thrush in a field
   
large numbers of redshanks in the mud
 
a heron fishing
 
a curlew
 
he gave up
the bay was swarming with flounders which meant we could see some very comical and sometimes horrific bird behavior
after stealing this flounder from a Lesser Black-backed Gull the cormorant proceeded into the sea to eat it whereupon it dropped and lost it.
a Great Black-backed Gull pulling the same trick only it managed to succeed in eating its prey
all in all a thrilling day.
