Spent some time at Rumney Great Wharf today with fellow "toggers" "Smudger" and "Pedro",we put up 2 SEOs as we walked across to the rocks from Sluice Farm at about 11.00am.Another 2 started to hunt at mid-day and probably 5 different birds hunted on and off until we left at about 4.00pm.
The light on a drab,grey day was truly awful with me shooting at 800ISO or higher in order to get a good shutter speed.I did experiment though with a slow shutter speed just before we left and got a couple of reasonable "motion blur" pics which I was quite pleased with.
With the number of SEOs at the wharf at present I'm just hoping for a really nice sunny day on a weekend which with a bit of luck could yield some spectacular results.

A 'flock' of 19 on Skomer today apparently. A great year for SEOs.
