First days of March

The month of March had planned quite an impressive entrance.

Luckily for us, the storm predicted did not get that bad

up here in our area. 

The Temperatures were around +5C (41F)

Though, the strong north-easterly winds accompanied with a full moon

brought quite a surf. 

Off course we had to go and see. Impressive.

We were not able to access the beach but I walked down

the stairs a bit to get a closer look.

And then, after 6 hours everything was "back to normal"

High tide vs low tide at..

At home the birds around the feeders

seemed imperturbed.

Der März hielt eine triumphalen Einzug doch der Sturm war nicht ganz so schlimm wie die Wettervorhersage es angekündigt hatte. 

Doch die Kombination von Vollmond und stürmischem Wind aus Nordost erzeugten eine ganz schöne Brandung.

Wir sind and die Küste gefahren und haben uns das Spektakel angesehen. 

Nach sechs Stunden war alles wieder normal. Flut- und Ebbephotos

am Herring Cove Strand zeigen den Unterschied.

Den Vögeln am Futterhäuschen scheint es nichts auszumachen.
