One thing I noticed on my 4AM walk yesterday morning was that the seagulls weren’t even up and about. They started to appear at about 6AM, but until then I really could hear nothing at all but the wave-noise from the sea and the occasional puff of wind. It’s very calming to be able to drink in the scenery with no distractions, but so often the modern world intrudes As the poet WH Davies put it:
“A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare”
I rather like this picture I took, which seems to show the calmness I was referring to:
I took this one towards the end, and I like the way the sun is bringing out the colours in the grass. There is an RSPB bird-watchers hut just out of shot to my right and many species of rare birds live in the bog here.

Cheers, Tom.
