| Re: First Storm Petrel this year
Well, I did say it was a worthwhile spot, Rob. On Thursday, I didn't come closer than about 1 mile SW of Prawle but had about a dozen Stormies following me, although as you say it was too gloomy for a decent photo.
On Friday morning I came close with about 4 of them around me but once again it was dull in the morning.
I have heard reports of those dolphins but didn't see any myself that day. Also, there is a small pod of Bottlenosed Dolphins in the area. They tend to wander along the south coast mostly staying close inshore.
And when I got back home I took some interesting shots of crab spiders in the garden.
ps. During the winter it is possible to spot the occasional Velvet Scoter there. |
