It might seem like a silly little simple pleasure but we were really excited to see the flock of Shoveler passing the Bill - in fact all the more so for the fact that they rounded Pulpit Rock within seconds of us arriving at the Obelisk and we then remained at the Bill tip for another half hour and saw absolutely nothing else of interest. We've seen umpteen Shoveler pass by over the years but we're pretty sure this is the first time that there's been the happy coincidence of them being close enough and us having a camera to hand © Martin Cade:
Considering what a shocker the morning had been, the afternoon was really quite pleasant albeit still pretty breezy © Martin Cade:
