Assorted views along Anthonys Bank

 A few odd pics from Anthonys Bank from different days.

We haven't been out much since our last walks along the footpath at Anthony's Bank, these are a few odd things.

Cleethorpes Pier in the distance and the disused Light Railway Station in the foreground.

2 pics of Buck Beck flowing out into the Humber estuary.


This area is rich with wading birds, these are Oyster catchers.

More Oyster catchers with a Redshank on the left of the group.

A Little Egret, this one seems to be a resident just here as it can be spotted most days.
I'm not a "birder", nor do I have the right equipment to photograph them.  I leave that 
to my son Michael, who goes all over to photograph wildlife with lenses that I wouldn't 
be able to carry, let alone afford to buy!  But I'm pleased with my occasional modest efforts.

Don't know what these are, I did "Google Lens" (on the monitor screen) and was informed
they are "young developing flower catkins on a Willow Tree".  Isn't technology great!

Graffiti at the old station and the passing loop on the tracks. 

Someone had prised this open, only to find a sturdy padlock inside. I liked the peeling, cracked
paint and rust.  The TV antique programs would describe that as "Patina!"

Boats, Spurn Lighthouse, Hail Sand Fort and wind turbines miles out 
off the East Yorkshire coast.

Blackbirds pecking about, not exactly Wading Birds, but nice to see.
Popcorn barks at any birds so I had to be quick to get this pic.

The saltwater Lagoon where I spotted the birds earlier.  
End of these photo's.


Olympus EM10 iv plus  40-150mm lens.
