Walking along Hamble shore on Wednesday and looking back towards Hamble. It's been a day of sunshine and some big clouds but it has stayed dry. On my way to the country park and a cup of tea. #hamble #hambleshore #southamptonwater #walk #walking

I've seen a rat on this bit of Hamble Shore before. After checking a few shells, it selects one and takes it back into the undergrowth. I've no idea why. It's hard to photograph with a phone because I can't get close and it doesn't stay still. #rat #shells #hambleshore

Hamble Shore on Tuesday afternoon. The cloud is beginning to move away as the wind gets up. By the time I get to the country park it will be sunny again. A very pleasant day for walking. #hamble #hambleshore #southamptonwater #walk #walking
