Calshot Beach
Today we had a walk along Calshot beach which overlooks the Isle of Wight at the end of Southampton Water. There were lots of black headed gulls about as well as oyster catchers, turnstones herring gulls, crows and lots of rock pipits (we think!) It was very quiet at Calshot today (people wise) but there were plenty of small boats, yachts and ferries around (travelling between Southampton and Cowes).
Catfish (unfortunately dead!)
In the sea we saw this fish, some sort of catfish? unfortunately it was dead but quite impressive at about two foot long.
Calshot Castle
We wandered along the beach to the lifeboat station and castle at the end of Calshot Spit. http://www3.hants.gov.uk/calshot-castle.htm As it was a clear day we could easily see the Isle of Wight, the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth and the forts out in the solent http://www.clarenco.com/solent-forts/
