Wild Walk Wednesday 26th November 2025 Frost on the clifftop

   Some beautiful, strong gold sunshine was swiftly melting a slight early morning frost.
  A flock of about 30 feral pigeons was flying around the rooftops of the industrial estate across the busy main road.
  Several corvids were feeding on the golf course grass, many of them jackdaws mingled with a few rooks.
  A lady passed by, walking a lively Pekinese-type dog, and I also passed a young woman with a brown poodle-type dog around the outskirts of the golf course.
  A single gull flew down onto the boating lake as I reached the clifftop viewpoint.
I shot a short, dramatic video of the waves crashing into the seashore. The sound of the seawater dragging some small pebbles around on the beach was surreal. I also took a couple of still photographs of the white-topped waves rolling into the shore.
  A man walking a Golden Retriever walked along the clifftop path.
  I couldn’t resist taking a couple of photographs of some frost-covered tree mallow shrubs. In fact, the whole row of these shrubs alongside the clifftop pathway drooped and looked sorry for themselves.
  A lady walking a Jack Russell terrier wandered along the promenade with many other people, enjoying the cool, pleasant morning sunshine.
Several hedge sparrows were flying around the hebe shrubs growing on the promenade gardens.
  Two men with two retrievers were laughing and watching their dogs barking loudly at each other. I’m sure dogs often symbolise and take on many of their owners’ characteristics. A lady with a well-behaved retriever-type dog ordered her dog to sit and wait while the barking was happening.
  A robin was perched on a twig at the edge of a shrub; the sunlight was shining on him, lighting up his vivid red breast.
The people living in the bird-friendly house near the golf club entrance had just provided some food for the birds. About 10 gulls suddenly flew around, calling loudly to one another. A large flock of feral pigeons began circling around, and I noticed several jackdaws perched along the ridge of the rooftop.
There were several corvids in the treetops growing along both sides of the main road towards the leisure centre, where I met up with Margaret.
Today I walked for 2.25 miles in 46 minutes.
