This was one of those lucky coincidences which is such a joy. I went to Milford Haven to do some shopping, then went down to Mackerel Quay to eat my sandwich lunch, where I noticed that the tide was low. Very low. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out. Of course, it was just after the Spring Equinox, so not just a spring tide (when the range between low and high is greatest) but equinoctal springs, (spring and autumn), which have the maximum range.
It was fascinating to see the structure of the quay wall and all the things which are usually under water, like:
 |
| the structure of the pier, with some remnants of an older structure ... |
 |
| the old steps leading down from the quay, (probably inaccessible) ... |
 |
and a scatter of old tyres in the mud (why? what were they for?).
|
The pier is a nice place to stand and look for birds, even if it's just a small group of Herring Gulls, seeing if there's anything worthwhile in all that mud and sand.
Or to sit and enjoy the view.
