Aug 17 - first kitiwakes

Overcast skies but no rain. 

First Kitiwakes of the trip. 

Five more dolphins. 

First Red Fox. 

A few more Fulmars, which are less common than we expected. Kind of makes sense because they need a certain type of cliff for nesting and most of the coast so far has not been cliffy. 

Another hundred dogs. UK has ~80 million people and ~20 million dogs. All those dogs spend their summer holiday at the beach. There are likely more dogs in the UK than children under the age of eighteen. 

We're happy and healthy and camped next to a hedgerow in a sheep field opposite a small quiet military base.
