More pictures from the St Osyth Creek. The Trinovante is out of the water for final preparations for a summer season sailing in Norway. (www.schoonersail.com). The Creek bounces the light of the sinking sun.
Today the Creek was cloaked in fog bringing a different perspective and feel. A very high tide saw the northside footpath underwater.
More pictures from the Creek this morning.
With the strong winds making flying more difficult, the birds at Stone Point are happy to sit this out, sheltering on the leeward side of the spit.
The Creek in winter.
The importance of this Creek lies not just in the birds that are attracted here, or the scenery that attracts us, or the leisure activities offered, but also the plants that find home in the esturine waters.
Tonight on the Creek.
Yesterday evening on The Creek at low tide. The Thames Barges Dawn and Edme lay side by side at the boatyard moorings. The three masted, steel hulled Trinovante lies on the mud. The setting sun reflects off the esturine mud and the old wooden hulk just continues, very slowly, to decay. What's not to like.
Lovely evening for taking the family out! (Mill Dam Lake, St Osyth Creek)
Yet another rubbish collection trip. 200 metres of creek bank and the large black sack is full of plastic.
Third clear up day revealed this little chap. I felt quite guilty throwing him in the skip. Attempts to recruit passers-by came to nothing but we will keep trying.
Another morning on the Creek, this is one of two piles of rubbish collected. Thanks to the boatyard for the use of their trolley and bins. This pile however is still to be removed.
50 metres of creek edge cleared of rubbish. The tip of the iceberg
