All great shots, but this is the one. I live so near to the IOW and have still to get there. Must make more effort in the future. I also need more time.

Thanks Richard and John - it was a relief actually to lie down in the grass - out of the wind and in a bit of shade too - I was so absorbed by the mating procedure tho that I forgot I was lying on rocks, my arms were burned like overcooked bacon and the wind was un-relenting ....
