Nice shot, unusual

Aww that's lovely SM, not sure I have seen one before though

Nice one Snappy. Not sure the last time I saw one, I've got a feeling it may have been last time I was in Weymouth, but didn't get a picture because were flying over and away.... or that could just be a mythological memory
