Dried out and windswept? New tracks because the tide would have washed them away Looks? Looks like a doggo moving right to left tooWhat do you notice about the tracks themselves?
Really interesting comment regarding the issue with the left leg. What indicates or suggests that to you ?Walker has problem with left leg.
It look like the tide has taken the furthest prints out - if so, they passed before the last high tide.
However, the sand surface looks damp? so they passed after it rained.
The person's tracks seem to increasingly deviate from the origin at the bottom of the photo. I suggest that it's possibly someone / parent following a youngster on a 3-wheeler bike. That could explain the lighter track on the middle / front wheel? Plus dogs, of cours
Good thinking. The middle track " is " feint. Do we think the gait and straddle is normal of ? Walking ??The person's tracks seem to increasingly deviate from the origin at the bottom of the photo.

Interesting. Please show your workings for all those as I'm fascinated.It's a westerly beach with winds from the east, just after some light rain a lady with two bigger dogs (or one running in circles) passed with dog in front. She was pushing a three wheeled pram. The beech slopes a bit here and the local rock is igneous and the tide has been out some time and I'd guess is making its way in.

The shadows are at the front, assuming northern hemisphere, that means they are SE to SW. I've seen that kind of patterning of dry patches sand when it rains on dry sand (dry lower, wet top) and then starts to dry. For it to dry and get damp and then dry, takes time, so suggests it was afternoon. Afternoon sun with the shadows on the footprints gives direction. The lack of waves indicates an offshore breeze. The uniform dark sand, indicates that it isn't a pure quartz beach and is typical of areas of igneous rock. You also show flattish "shadows" offshore. These remind me of glacially smoothed areas.Interesting. Please show your workings for all those as I'm fascinated.
There is a slight imbalance to the gait (like many of us!): the left foot points almost straight ahead whilst the right is angled outwards slightly. I would say walking as the toe portion of the clearer signs doesn't show any "digging in" as might be seen when running or jogging.Good thinking. The middle track " is " feint.
