A closer look at the shoreline shows some of the tiny creatures which colonise the rock pools and help to build up the coast.
As well as these two macro images the other shots show different views of Hilbre Island looking across the seaweed covered rocks and pools.
One of the nice things about visiting the island is the fact that invariably it is possible to see some of the common seals which live in a large colony on a sand bank out in the bay. I tried to get some pictures of the colony but due to poor light and with the distance I wasn't able to get a good shot. However as the tide went out and the seals came to rest on the sand they were incredibly noisy and the sound carried clearly across the water. It was a nice bonus on my early morning walk.
