Monday 8th December 2008 Dolphins
A friend of mine (Harvey Cole of Invicta Sea
School) was coming back from France yesterday on his yacht. 10 miles SE of
the South Goodwin Buoy, he came across a group of 20 Dolphins. They
stayed with his yacht for 20+ minutes. They gave excellent views as they
played around at the bow of his yacht in the very calm conditions. The water
was clear and he could see incredible detail on the Dolphins. They responded
playfully to noises, diving out of view and then returning at speed to the
surface, regularly leaping clear out of the water. Of many hours at sea, it
was the best wildlife spectacle he has ever seen. (Simon M)

As the weather had change last night with very cold
wind and heavy ground frost, I decided to put food out last thing for our
resident Foxes, this morning at 06-30hrs a very smart looking Dog
Fox came for breakfast, as the garden is well lit up by the Moth trap
light we had splendid views. (Gadget)
