I had a cracking couple of hours on the beach at Bridlinton today.
I arrived at 7.30 and it was slightly chilly at -1 but I had come prepared.
Soon I was on the beach at the south side of the harbour photographing common waders and gulls as the sun rose.
I only had a narrow window as a big bank of cloud was just above the horizon. The 20 minutes or so I had of light as the sun rose was something special.
It was only after the sun disappeared did I notice the kingfisher.
It must have been frozen out of its usual haunt and forced to find food out on the coast. It didnt do too badly while I was there catching at least 3 fish and a shrimp.
