| I have seen them feeding at the tidemark with snow buntings and pipits and they also find seeds in the marram hills. |
| When a high tide occurs and the tidemark reaches beyond the normal beach line, this tends to create certain element of fear in the people. |
| To remove the mud tidemark, hold your shoe in the steam from a kettle and brush the stain. |
| It rises up to the narrow tidemark and with a swift flick of his wrists, it squeaks to a stop. |
