We had a brief shopping trip to Poole this morning, mixed in with a walk along the harbour. Despite it being the end of the first week in December it was surprisingly calm in the town centre and we were in and out of the shops quite quickly and painlessly.
There's so much more in the little streets off of the main roads.
The tourist information centre even had a postbox for mail to Santa!
I didn't dare go in to this old fashioned sweetshop, as I may well have had to try everything!!
The harbour Christmas tree, alive to the sound of singing....
house sparrows. A lovely temporary home for them amongst the branches.
Now and then as we walked passed the fishing boats and fishing equipment, it smelt revolting, very fishy!!
Black headed gulls keeping watch.
The tide was coming in and there were plenty of wading birds about. We saw several of these turnstones and among others, cormorants and oyster catchers.
The par overlooking the harbour is a nice place to just sit and watch the boats coming and going, away from the hustle and bustle, overlooking Brownsea Island.
