Prior to today I had only managed rather frustrating, distant views of a Purple Sandpiper at high tide, roosting on the timber framework. Fortunate today to find a confiding, foraging bird at low water. #ShorehamFort #ShorehamBreakwater

A wall lizard lies stretched across a red brick wall, its patterned body blending into the rough texture. The lizard’s head rests on the edge of one brick, just catching the sunlight. Its scales show a mix of green and black, with tiny white spots. Background is a soft blur of weathered bricks. Taken at Shoreham Fort.

I especially appreciate heritage initiatives that prioritize welfare and wellbeing. #LocalHeritage #CommunityBenefits #ShorehamFort
