It really is an amazing thrill to be so close to so many birds and surrounded by such beauty!!!

The times I was driving were accompanied by live soccer games from England on Satellite radio!!!!!

Around 5pm it was time to find somewhere to stop and after a few minutes scouting around came upon the wharf here
