Easy mistake, it was probably some 15 year old mum of four waiting to be picked up by one of the fathers of the four kids... hence the clicking sound

You'll find that as the weather gets warmer and the year go's on, there will be many more **** on display, sunning themselves and generally enjoying the better weather and longer days, getting ready for the breeding season.






























Mainly around Southend and other similar coastal towns.
