Yesterday was a wild one. The rain cleared out early in the morning, but the wind persisted all day, and I couldn’t resist an afternoon walk with the camera and some Norwegian deep house. I did just about 7km and saw several (or more) birds, including this Caspian Tern (Hydroprogne caspia)…
…the world’s largest tern, which apparently has “a subcosmopolitan but scattered distribution”. (i.e. It’s found all over the world, but only in patchy or isolated areas all over the world. Rasper Point was one of those areas yesterday afternoon.
All was going well, and I was really enjoying my time, when suddenly, I saw someone else on my beach.
Walk. Ruined.
Absolutely shocking.
How very dare they? Do they not know the rules of windy, weekday afternoons on the Agulhas coast?
That’s my time, on my beach, with my Caspian Terns and my Norwegian deep house music.
Go and find somewhere else to be. Honestly.
