While fishing around 30 miles south of Start Point in mid-August, Rob Dart and Paul Bright saw a shearwater and a skua around Rob's boat. Back ashore, Paul sent this photo to Mark Darlaston, whose reply was “Great!” in every way…

Paul’s excellent picture, below, shows a Great Shearwater, which was resting on the water alongside the boat. The skua, by the way, was a Great Skua.
