We parked at Lytham station, near the windmill, and walked the nine miles or so along the coast to Blackpool Tower. On the way we walked over sand dunes, saltmarsh, beach, rocky shores around Fairhaven Lake and through the illuminations.
Birds included 2000 Knot and some very approachable Sanderling and Redshanks.

Partial alibino Jackdaw, or, as I prefer to call it, a partially melanistic Daurian Jackdaw!
