Believe it or not we actually found some shelter on Wooltack Point this morning, although our position worsened dramatically as the wind veered from Southerly to Westerly! But it was well worth it: a seawatch from 0800 to 1100 with a north-flowing tide produced large numbers of Fulmars (200+? many of which spent some time rafting in groups of 15-20), Kittiwakes (60+, of which about two thirds were...

He was shocked and pleased to find out how much I paid for it, because it looks like it cost a whole lot more. The quality is fantastic. Unlike his gold ring which caused him minor skin irritation (probably due to nickel...
