Wow! I've only ever seen one basking shark, and that was on Gwenver Beach,
Sennen. A load of seagulls were harassing it, but it seems unperturbed and
gently swam north towards Cape Cornwall. Best time I had at Sennen was when
surfing and 4 bottlenosed dolphins joined us, the dolphins were huge and
they never got very close but to see them surfing for fun, as we were doing
in the waves was magical.

Drifting wildly OT now, but do let me know when you're next down this
part of the world, I've got a large collection of body boards, (partly
due to our vistors not being able to fit them in the car on the way
home!)

Still on the wildlife front, at least 5 people have been bitten by
adders at Gwithian in the last few weeks, one was hospitalised for a
week.

Maybe it's the same adder........with a grudge!

The only Basking shark I've ever seen was looking down from the cliffs
at Tintagel castle. Wonderful sight.

It has been a lovely day, today, in the SW, Will. Jealousy will get
them nowhere!
