When I read that a local speciality was grilled cheese, green pepper sauce and raspberry jam (?) I thought they must be joking. It's so much better in the mouth than on the page.

The name Sanderling is from the Old English sand-yrðling, or ‘sand-ploughman’.

A Black Guillemot in breeding plumage is a thrill.
Even more so when it has a freshly caught fish to display.
