Again quite blustery but without the rain. Still quite a few Little Auks along with Kittiwakes going north past Church point. One unfortunate Little Auk was caught by a Great Black-backed Gull and eaten whole :-(

Newbiggin by the sea is a small seaside town with just over 5,000 residents. Centered around a bay teeming with marine wildlife, a peaceful beach known for its glowing sunrises and fiery sunsets, and Sean Henry's intriguing Couple sculpture that sits out at sea.

| The Couple |
The Couple is the U.K’s first permanent, public art, offshore sculpture, as it’s based 300 meters off the coast of Northumberland on a platform that’s installed upon a rock breakwater. This sea-based “couple” stands 5 metres tall, and were created by Sean Henry from bronze, steel and marine paint in 2007.
It has been a pretty wet weekend with some strong gusts of wind, but people still walk the promenade no matter the weather.
