Something very sublime is happening here....

There are little land plants beginning a life at sea... however one of those little tufts holds a secret... it is the nest of a kingfisher.  This is a very unusual place for a kingfisher to nest... I think perhaps the top of the pole has rotted out and there must be a little cavern... kingfishers usually nest in holes in the cliffs.  I hope they return this year.

There is a place further down the coast where they have been nesting for many years in the remains of an ancient tree... the branch were they sit and observe the bay is polished hard and smooth by generations of movements of little bird feet.
