Not sure about camera shy, Linda, more likely trying to avoid the boat being driven by a mad Scot!!Linda257 wrote: Sat Sep 19, 2026 7:21 am That would have made my oban sea tour more exciting had I seen that bobbing in the water...looks a tad camera shy though
Nice shot Snappy, have only seen them in the water like that off the Farne Islands. May have been bobbing at Bempton but I was on the cliff top lol
