Autumn on the Wirral

A trip to New Brighton was on the cards today, even though the forecast was rain....better to be out in the fresh air than in. After a somewhat expected soggy start, the sun showed it's warm autumnal glow through the broken cloud. I took a few scenic shots of Perch Fort rock and surroundings, the beach unfortunately was devoid of any waders that were photographically in range, even so......it was a nice refreshing warm breeze, enough to put a spring in your step! We headed for Hoylake and were rewarded with a number of Knot,Oystercatchers, Redshank and the Common Gull, Herring Gull and Lesser Black backed Gull. When we got back to the car we saw a Sea King helicopter heading in the direction of New Brighton....I couldn't miss an opportunity to capture it as it whirled just over our heads. All in all, an unexpectedly very good day.
