This afternoon we went to Hamble Common on the edge of Southampton Water for a 2.5 mile walk along the Solent Way. We did a bit of geo-caching and for the first time in a while successfully found 4 caches along the route. This is an area I don't know and it made a change to walk somewhere completely different, along the beach overlooking Fawley Power Station and Refinery.
It was quite misty and hazy so there was no chance of seeing the Isle of Wight today. There were a few birds around, birds of note included;
Oyster Catchers
Brent Geese
Rock Pipit
Curlew
Black Headed Gulls
Herring Gulls
Long-Tailed Tits
Wren
One other thing worth noting was the amount of shells on the shoreline, masses and masses all along the beach.
