Christine's foot was bothering her so she drove me to Burry Port, to wander the harbour, while she sat and sketched in the car.

Her view from the car
|
 |
with the tide way out and all the boats sitting on the sand.
|
 |
I walked out past the Yacht Club
|
 |
to the lighthouse
|
 |
and it's partner, across the estuary.
|
 |
There was a very narrow entry to the harbour with, what looked like, a traffic light.
|
 |
The birds were feeding in the wet sand. I think these little waders are Redshanks.
|
 |
The gulls were picking up shellfish and dropping them on to the pathways, to break them open and eat the contents, often chased by a crow intent on theft.
|
 |
There was also one Little Egret
|
 |
identifiable by its yellow feet.
|
 |
Narrow entrance, large basin for the bigger boats and 2 smaller basins as well.
|
 |
This was just one bay east of Llansteffan and Ferryside.
|
 |
On the far side of the harbour, a Lifeboat Station
|
 |
But |
 |
what happens
|
 |
when the tide is out? I peered into the building and saw a large orange zodiac and a tractor with huge tires to push it down the ramp, across the sand, and in to the water.
