Clearly i need to do some seawatching I have never seen a skua.!!
ReplyDeletevery impressive Martin, very atmospheric pics too. I wish now I'd stopped and looked out to sea on my way to work but it was so rough it was all I could do to stay on my bike!
ReplyDeleteCaptured the feel of the day Martin, I should get there more often.
