Spring? Where did it go?

Yes, yesterday was officially spring.  Today we are back to dull, rainy skies.  Nevertheless, Charlie needed his walk and so I was suitable dressed with waterproof gear and wellies. We walked down a very muddy path with woodland on either side.  Birds were trying their best to sing and I heard the 'wheeze' of the Greenfinch and the song of the Blackbird, Robin and Dunnock.  This path lead to another part of Binstead beach but not a particular nice part as it was very stony.  I saw 15 Turnstone, 3 Curlew, 5 Oystercatcher, Black-head, Common, Great and Lesser Black-backed Gulls and 4 Grey Plover.  By this time, Charlie's fur was muddy and wet and so we retraced out steps back home.
