Western Gull, adult

California Gull, adult

All the gulls are on the other side of Salmon Creek

out on the sand where the creek flowed into the sea, it was only about 6 inches deep,
very fast flowing, but the chaps were off  ! ! !


Richard and Mick, the other side of  Salmon Creek

Off with the shoes and socks, I followed ! It was a bit cool, very fast current, it seemed to wash the sand from under your feet, a little bit dodgy ! !
