Because it usually means that me and Maisy have the beach to ourselves !
There had been others earlier though because there were quite a few tracks both human and canine. I always compare all the dog tracks to Maisy's and try and picture what kind of dog had made them !
Anyway as I was studying the dog tracks I came across what I could only think were Deer tracks, I had never come across Deer tracks on this beach before though !!!
I followed the Deer tracks for a small way and they suddenly disappeared ?
I tried in vain to see where they had gone and then I bacame distracted by the sight of this Heron.....
I watched him for a few minutes and then figured I would walk on a while then come back and try and figure out the Deer track mystery!
A little rain doesn't bother Maisy !
As I started to head back I came across some scat that also puzzled me. It was quite close to the waters edge....not dog, not deer, not bird...it kinda resembled bear scat but on a much smaller scale, I wondered about sea otter but there were no fish scales or bones in it ?
I looked around for any tracks that would reveal the identity but there were none.Just as I was about to give up and ask you guys I spotted this....A perfect Raccoon track !!!
Puzzle solved ! I stared at the other Raccoon tracks and in my mind I could now see the little fella chasing some seagulls away from a dead crab then wandering a little further only to stop and shake some of the rain from his coat !!!
As I was driving back home thinking about the Raccoon I suddenly remembered the Deer track mystery !!!! Damn, I guess ya can't solve em all eh !!!!
