After much debating as to whether we should chance the Wirral or not, we decided to throw caution to the wind. (it was windy too)I managed to get some wonderful images of the waves crashing over the sea wall at the life boat station at Wallasey....the tide was very high... needless to say I looked like a be-draggled rat after five minutes! We then headed for New Brighton and found some waders roosting on the Pontoon...there were Dunlin, Turnstone, Redshank and at the front some very sleepy Purple Sandpiper's all huddled together braving the very squally elements. New Brighton was almost deserted, not quite the weather to be out in, but I found it quite exhilerating.
