It’s been a quiet few days for me in between the cygnets and meteorite and with the SR camera needing a clean i haven’t had many decent shots to share with you. I guess thats the down side of having a few waves hitting the camera! We are all back to clean and sparkly now so hopefully you enjoyed the sunrise shot this morning.

There are no specials due this week but i would advise looking out around 10.30 am on Monday as we are due to have the final pass of the Sea Kings before they are decommissioned on Tuesday. They are doing a farewell flypast of a number of places linked to their time in service. We should pick them up in the distance as they fly between Portland and Lympstone Commando base, They will then follow the coastline around to Dartmouth so we should get a much closer view.

Ok a few shots sent in from our viewers so as always our thanks for the contributions.
