My local beach

I took a walk along my local beach at low tide on Friday evening. Twice a day (at low tide) a small island is accessible and is only a 400 metres walk. I was keen to get to the island as I could hear the grunts and calls typical of seals. I couldn't quite get close enough to photograph them without a boat so I took a few images of what I could capture.
