This spectacular picture taken by flying photographer Mike Page shows Scroby Sands on Sunday, March 9 at low tide.

He said the seal count from the air showed a total of 2087 on the island, several hundred cormorants and many hundreds of gulls.

Photographed from the air, the sands resemble a small tropical island - without the palm trees!
