Morecambe Bay

After a morning of indecision, I took the bus to Morecambe Bay. What a glorious afternoon it was.

Morecambe Bay has been described as a pit-stop for migrating birds that come from the Arctic to over-winter and feed on the millions of creatures that live in the sand, marshes, and salt marshes.

Try hitting 'L' and wander about the image - on the extreme left is a 'detectorist' who risks the quicksands in this area (a sheep was rescued near here only yesterday). Looking across the bay you can see Grange-over-Sands, Barrow-in Furness, and possibly a bit of Ulverston.

In the distance you can see the fells of Cumbria/Lake District.
