The seductive smell of the ocean together with the distant calls of unseen wading birds, bring an air of peace and tranquility to this beach on the outer reaches of the Thames estuary, seen here at low tide.
I was spending an hour or so at Chalkwell station and, in a gap between trains, couldn't resist stepping along the shore for a while to take in the atmosphere.
Thamesport and Tilbury are just a few miles upstream so the deeper channels see a reasonable amount of shipping traffic during a typical day. Across the river can be seen the storage tanks of the UK National Grid's LNG terminal, located on the Isle of Grain. It doesn't look much from here but, during a 12 month period in 2022/23 this, the largest terminal by volume in Europe, unloaded over 100 ships from around the world, and supplied 14% of the nation's natural gas needs.
No surprise it was a pretty dour autumn day, but the backlight on the exposed riverbed provided some nice contrasts which I tried to exploit.
The title is a steal from the excellent book of the same name by author Barry Lopez.

Well, I like it anyway :o)

These pods hanging from the sycamore tree resembled a little like musical notes. The balls dry out during the winter and break open for the seeds in spring.

New Holland Honeyeater
Phylidonyris novaehollandiae
With long, slender beaks and a tongue which can protrude well beyond the end of their beaks, New Holland Honeyeaters are able to probe for nectar in the deep flowers of Banksias and Grevilleas.
Calls: The voice comprises a loud 'chik', a fainter 'pseet' and some chattering notes. If danger, such as a bird of prey approaches, a group of honeyeaters will join together and give a loud alarm call.
Minimum Size: 18cm
Maximum Size: 18cm
Average size: 18cm
Average weight: 20g
Breeding season: any time of year; mainly summer and winter
Clutch Size: 2 to 3
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 16 days
Description: The New Holland Honeyeater is mostly black and white, with a large yellow wing patch and yellow sides on the tail. It has a small white ear patch, a thin white whisker at the base of the bill and a white eye. This honeyeater is an active bird, and rarely sits still long enough to give an extended view. Sexes are similar in looks, but females are slightly smaller in size. Young birds are browner and have a grey eye.
Similar species: One very similar species is the White-cheeked Honeyeater,Phylidonyris nigra. This species has a single large white cheek patch and a dark eye. The two species frequently occur together.
Distribution: The New Holland Honeyeater's range extends throughout southern Australia, from about Brisbane, Queensland, to just north of Perth, Western Australia.
Habitat: The New Holland Honeyeater is common in heath, forests, woodland and gardens, mainly where grevilleas and banksias are found. It is inquisitive and approaches humans. It also mixes with other types of honeyeaters.
Feeding: New Holland Honeyeaters are active feeders. They mostly eat the nectar of flowers, and busily dart from flower to flower in search of this high-energy food. Other food items include fruit, insects and spiders. Birds may feed alone, but normally gather in quite large groups. Most feeding takes place in lower areas of bushes and thickets.
Breeding: The New Holland Honeyeater's cup-shaped nest is made of bark and grasses, bound together with spider web. It is lined with soft material and is placed in a bush or tree, anywhere from ground level up to 6 m. Both sexes feed the chicks. A pair of adults may raise two or three broods in a year.

Un matin, un après-midi ou un soir...
Un moment à soi, un instant plaisir, un fragment de bonheur.
Parfums qui titillent les narines, chaleur bienfaisante sur les mains, esthétisme du décor et des jolies petites choses illuminant les rétines, saveurs qui racontent un voyage une fois en bouche, petite musique du breuvage qui coule et ravit les tympans.
Les 5 sens en éveil...
Une petite mélodie de la vie.
Quelques notes de belle musique, de cadeau simple et épicurien ... pour elle, pour lui...
Le canto una canción a la nada
Y me burlo de la melancolía
Mientras le subo el cierre a la falda de las ganas
Ok, so it's not a partridge in a pear tree..but it's the thought that counts ;-)
Happy Wing Wednesday!
