5 July 2023 Sunderland: Out to the End of the Pier

 


We walked out to the end of the pier and saw all the fishermen.  More interesting were the dogs we saw walking, chasing balls, swimming and being absolutely cute.  We saw two new lifebirds, the common tern and the sandwich tern,  watched some cute Dachshunds and got settled into the place


Looking back towards out place, it is just to the left of the gap in the houses


Fishing poles everywhere


The wind is whipping!


The flair at the base of the lighthouse is distinctive



Fish that were caught


Holy mackerel


It is a big one


It is a pretty long walk out to the end


Common Tern


At least around these parts


Eateries and coffee shops along the shore


A sandwich tern another lifebird


Dachshunds are so damn cute


The little ones did not want to get all the way into the water


But the mamma went in all the way


Not sure what was going on here?  A photoshoot


Sailboats heading out





It has been 1 year 30 days since we began out Migration
