Well, it's lovely for a change to be able to do a session without dressing like an eskimo, having that warmth and the sun on your back makes quite a change. Is there a downside to that? Yes, sometimes, and that comes in the form of heat haze. It's an almost invisible demon, the scurge of long lens photography. It's a bit like sea mist in that it comes and goes with the breeze. It can change from one minute to the next and it's effects can be as little as a slight look of a lack of fine focus to a totally blurred image. Thankfully today it was the former and only affected a few of my images. A very strong tide today and that has an effect on the numbers of porpoise that come in and how long they stay. First sighting way out to the North was of a pod of Commons moving quickly West to East only briefly slowing down to no doubt forage on a shoal of fish.
It was later in the tide that the porpoise came in. Not the big numbers I've had over the past few days, just ten or so but thankfully reasonably close. As I waited two Whimbrel few in and landed on the rocks below me and settled in for some rest and as I was about to leave a Buzzard flew past after being mobbed by the local crow brigade. All in all an enjoyable and productive session.
