Thanks Jeff. Strumble, now you're talking! I'll see you down there. If it's anything like last year it will be best when I'm on Skokholm which is the 15th Sept for a week this year. You might want to pencil that period in!

Long-tailed next! Nice shots.
Thanks Barry. A Long-tailed would be very nice. I hope that I'll be ready when one passes.
Nice shots Mark,sea looks as flat as a mill pond.
Looking forward to a really good "blow" and a visit to Strumble.
Thanks Jeff.
