Do you get midges on Dartmoor?

Peeing down t'other side of the country. No wind, but steady moderate
rain from a steel grey sky.

Sparklingly clear visibility here as well. Sunny periods & a few small/
medium cumulus, mainly (but not wholly) inland.

Currently (11:40) 16.6C Wind around Force 3 NW, DP 9C, so a a fairly
fresh feel.

20+ basking sharks at Sennen earlier in the week, I missed them.

Yes. Usually come out late June/July, can be a real nuisance on still
evenings, fortunately we don't get a lot of those in the more exposed
locations, a little bit of wind and they all disappear. More of a problem in
the campsites as they tend to be in valleys and near rivers. Wind is a good
thing in summer.

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.

Sun's oot, rather nice in the garden. A lie down in the hammock with a cold
beer is called for.

Just doubled my rainwater storing capacity to 400 litres.

(12:45) 19.3C, RH 56%, DP 10.0C, 1018.7 hPa (R), Wind 10 mph NW.

Ours usually appear in mid-May. Despite a coldish winter, this year has
been very bad particularly mornings and evenings. Sunny afternoons are
usually OK. I don't think you'd like it here as we have to sleep with
the bedroom windows closed or die in the attempt.

Just wondered.

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!)

See www.marinediscovery.co.uk/sightings.html for some recent shark/
dolphin pics

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.

These SW'ly blokes getting to be a bit of a pain :-)

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!
