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

That would have made my oban sea tour more exciting had I seen that bobbing in the water...looks a tad camera shy though

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

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...
