Walk along Ryhope beach

Had a dodge down ryhope beach with the dog today and
that bad weather we have had has done some damage to
the sea birds and fish i was walking along the tide line
towards manholes and i come a cross a few of these.

Also came a cross about 5 dead gulls 2 cormorants and 3
puffins the cliffs have took a battering as well you cans
see the different types of layers in the cliff.

A pair of gull made home up there as well

Dont know how long there home will last as i was
walking along you can hear and see bit of the cliff
falling if any one is going to fish them i would go
down low water and check ya spot and what the
cliff are like before fishing it.

few more pics looking towards Seaham and the
manholes.
