Sunset at Flood Gates, Newtownards

After Eileen and I left Castle Espie (yesterday's post) we travelled to my 
'old caravan' where we had lunch, then while returning homeward we visited other parts of the Lough shore, finishing at the Flood Gates to see the sunset.  The tide was out (again) but if you are very clever you will see hundreds of Brent Geese, 2 Heron, Redshank in photos 5 & 6.  
The last photo was taken by Eileen.

So once again, this is the time for coffee, sit back and watch the slide show. Enjoy.












Thank you for visiting my post today.

Many thanks for all those people who left comments on any of my posts.  
I appreciate everyone of them.

    Lovely area. Never been myself - even though most of my first wife's family live thereabouts. A shame. Perhaps one day?

    Sunrise and sunset are such magical times of day. When teamed with water and birds the magic is increased exponentially.

    Beautiful color in the sunset and especially in the water over the flats. Very interesting to see large flocks of birds at the edge of the water.

      HI Jeanne Glad you enjoyed the scenery ans light in these shots. I know the birds were hard to see however I did not take the shots for the reason of seeing them, just afterwards when I was home was I able to make them out because I knew where they all were. Thanks for comment.
