This little Dotterel sat there very peacefully and comforted me. I saw a helicopter far away. covering something white the size of a large box.
Sad to say it was the drowned man. His body was taken away to be identified.
The reason for the safety quizzes, is that like the drowned man, people think they are invincible. No body is.
I like adventure stories like James Bond or Indianna Jones, but the truth is, no human could survive the reality of what they appeared to do. If it was real, these actors would be dead.
I remembered the little bird as if it was saying soothing words of comfort.
It’s not too hard to love simple things of life like birds and animals when you realise that the simple things of life are so precious.
Thanks, the importance of the lesson is to do your part that keeps people from drowning at all. Im not sure that it will stop all, but if people know of the dangers it’s better than nothing. Yes, it was sad
Never want to see that again.
What a great attitude to have, and I believe this bird was your angel for the day.
Thanks it certainly was my angel for the day.
The sea is beautiful but also very insidious. We have a lot to learn from the animals.
Certainly animals share our mortality and seem to be sympathetic. Yes, I certainly agree, have a lot to learn from animals.
Thanks Elenka for your kind comments
Thanks Kim, it made me determined to warn people to take care.
I’m so sorry that you had to go through this! I also believe that sometimes animals can sense our feelings and try to comfort us.
The beach was full of people who saw the same thing.
thanks so much Ellie
Such a loving look on her! I am so sorry you had to see that. It is unnerving to say the least. The sea is a dangerous place at times.
