Rubbish light, lots of "tree" in the way but not bad for 1/50" at 600mm! Processed to remove heavy grain so looks rather "unnatural". Good record though.

Pics processed to remove grain. Not easy to keep tabs on with the waves & flock movements.

Close inshore & c50 scoter flock diving for mussels. Access to the beach isn't easy as it is now a private holiday lodge site, though there's a public footpath route & the Scottish right-to-roam legislation obviously applies.
