Cuttlefish friend off Bournemouth beach last night 🦑
The bay is a popular breeding ground for them. I often see the eggs and newbies in the shelter of the few reefs out there.

Two youths glancing guiltily at me as I walked in to the pool changing rooms. The hastily-but-not-hastily enough hidden vape was the obvious cause of their discomfort.

The rain has stopped, the skies clear and the mercury falls. Perfect evening to be sat on a clifftop with only stars and waves for company. A rare treat with 4 planets visible too. #stargazing #astronomy #ukweather #winternights

A starry night sky, with Orion centered. Jupiter is visible in Taurus above and Sirius appears just over the horizon below.
