“The tide never comes in at Southport”

 “The tide never comes in at Southport” has been a standing joke for decades when disappointed visitors arrived on the beach only to discover the tide was miles out at low water. Well, it does come in occasionally as this picture proves but its not as dramatic as the scenes you get at Blackpool.

A morning at Meols and a chance meeting with some waders, a resident bird the Redshank and also some winter visitors. The big question is what they are: Dunlin, Sanderlin or Knot. After much research, I decided on Knot because of there green legs.
