A couple of days ago walking at #Oare #northKentcoast What you can’t see is that the scrub grass on the left is jumping with curlews singing their beautiful and plantiff call in the furious icy wind.

Colour photograph in shades of blue and brown. An old and broken walkway descends and curves away to the right. It leads down to a white row boat that rests on the mud flats of the Thames estuary. Across the water wind turbines line the shore. The blue sky is littered with fast moving clouds.
