Another grey day on St Aldhelm's Head

[puddleshark]

Another grey day, though the rain held off for a few hours this morning, and another walk across the high ground, this time following the chalk track along St Aldhelm's Head.


Even the high ground is wet.




A small lake to cross in the dip by the quarry.

I had hoped to see hares in the fields by the track. St Aldhelm's Head is a great place to see hares in spring. But, even though a few Skylarks were singing from somewhere up in the greyness, the hares had obviously decided it is not spring yet, and made themselves scarce.


The old coastguard cottages a little ghostly in the mist.


Distant headlands.


Hountstout, where I was walking last week, lost in low cloud.






Black-backed Gulls.

Wow. As a practitioner of the dark arts, RF, I'm impressed!

Sensible hares!
Very atmospheric.

The odd bird is beginning to twitter tentatively at sunrise, but it's definitely not spring yet. The photos really capture the grey weather we're having at the moment.

Oh yeah, the puddles just everywhere have been getting me down recently. They look very atmospheric in your photos, but they are of course a pain to walk through/around!
