Thanks PB. I have trouble finding them, my previous one was about a mile away at Welney...

Not sure about camera shy, Linda, more likely trying to avoid the boat being driven by a mad Scot!! :D

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

Thanks PB :) I think I got a few from the cliffs in Cornwall, not the best angle and a lot more distant...
