Killing time well before sunrise, taking advantage of the purple and pink skies. Those are cormorants (3 species, along with some pelicans and gulls) on the cliff to the right.

Hi phil, You made good use of killing time!! A very pleasent composition with the warm tones of sky and water contrasting nicely with the green grass. The gull in the foreground is a bonus!!
Nice look to the image - the quality of light captured well. I like the sweeping curve of the cliffs onto the beach. Cropping the tops of the trees in the upper right is a bit distracting.
I have taken similar images but further down the cliffs.
