Default 'Water Devils'.

Those of you reading my [WR]s will have seen me refer to 'water
devils'. These are the liquid form of 'dust 'devils' where a small
column of rotating dust or water is lifted up and skitters across the
landscape or surface of the water.

At the moment, a large number of 'water devils' are forming on Loch
Long, more frequently than I've noticed before, and I've managed to
photograph them.

My apologies for the quality. They were taken through a window using a
lens equivalent to a 600mm 35mm camera lens so camera shake hasn't
helped either.
