You meet the nicest people...

Two sessions today, one this morning 11 00/ 12.00 and then again later, 15.00 -17.30. I was concentrating on my new Gannet survey, recording and comparing numbers of adults and subadults in the hope that in doing so for several years, it might shed some light on population recruitment. Its quite good fun and passes the time when the porpoises are hiding elswhere and hoping for something out of the ordinary to turn up. Of course Ken often enjoys explaining the wonders of Strumble to visitors and this afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting Nikki (apologies if spelt wrong!) and Kevin from Perth Australia.Not only was i able to give some insights intothe wonders of strumble and help them to identify common species that were unfamiliar to people from the other side of the globe! not only that but they had some wonderful stories of travels and wildlife from the arctic to the antarctic. Better still the porpoises started to show but hard to se and Nikki was straight on them as was Kevin! These are the nicest moments and part of the strumble Magic!
