random birds egg fragments I've found in the last couple of months, and shells I found at the beach.
Today after a horrible drive to Rickney Amber and I met Tony for a walk on the marsh. The weather was cold misty and grey. But the peace and quiet was really wonderful. Not as much to see as on other visits but still we had a really great walk. So a running Fox Peregrines dive bombing some Lapwings and some Egrets. So only 11 images for today but as always great company and a great walk.

Another last minute cop out shot I'm afraid.
But I've not been very well this week, I've been recovering from a chest infection that seems to be getting worse now not better :(
I just want to get outside and take some outdoor shots, I'm rapidly running out of things to photograph inside. My daughter has a box of shells that she's picked up on trips to the beach, I haven't a clue what sort of shell this is, or what lived in it, but it came in handy for todays shot.

Shell Beach is a beach in the Shark Bay region of Western Australia, 45 kilometres south-east of Denham.
Shell Beach is not your everyday sand beach. It's a beach made of trillions of tiny shells, all from one type of animal.
The shell, known as the Hamelin Cockle, lives in prolific numbers in the area because of the super salty water. The discarded shells have heaped into massive piles up to 10m thick! Tonnes of bleached white shells forming a beach up to 1km wide and many kilometres long!
My wife’s crop from our two days on Sanibel Island. These shells will be incorporated in her artwork.
Various broken shells lie along the railbed at Mill Creek - dropped by hungry seagulls to get to the meat beneath.
This is the older Shell truck stop replaced by a new Flying J/Shell facility.
Here is the new building opened in October 2012:

The story goes that in 1835 Mr James Newlove lowered his young son Joshua into a hole in the ground that had appeared during the digging of a duck pond. Joshua emerged describing tunnels covered with shells. He had discovered the Shell Grotto, its walls decorated with strange symbols mosaiced in millions of shells. Is it an ancient pagan temple? A meeting place for some secret cult? Nobody can explain who built this amazing place, or why, but since its accidental discovery visitors from all over the world have been intrigued by the beautiful mosaic and the unsolved mystery.
A Christmas tree made of shells and left on Howe Street in Bay Head, NJ. The shells are left blank and then signed by visitors to the beach with their names and, or a message. Adorned with a starfish at the top, smaller red shells throughout the tree.
Walking along the beach at Mellon Udrigle in the Scottish Highlands, the dawn light side lit the large number of shells of which this is a small section.
