I love the subtle colours of the saltmarsh at Belhaven Beach. With the cold wind at our backs this morning, we walked across to the beach. The wind had switched direction from yesterday, when it blew in from the east. It had created a good swell for today's surfers. I counted about 26 of them, all tumbling about and enjoying the North Sea surf.
Out at sea we could see the gannets fishing, diving headlong into the sea, leaving a telltale splash where they hit the water and disappeared. And on the sand, appropriately enough, a surf clam.

As I type this post I am listening to Words and Music on Radio 3. A fabulous programme. Today the theme is 'The Silver Sea'. It's all very atmospheric! http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05mqhb1
