Dry evening with clear spells, chilly with patchy mist – night min 5° – cross-shore, NNE
New moon Quiet and still, except for curlews calling to each other. Bats hunting.
As I watched, a gull flew by, above the spruces. Its breast was rosy with the light of the unrisen sun. The day was, after all, to be fair.
