This photo should have been better composed…but I was simultaneously trying to hold my mobile phone straight, and keep the blighters away from my chips.

South West Sea Kayaking – Savage Shores Sea Kayaking in South West England – Britain's Coastal Environment
South West Sea Kayaking
About this blog
'South West Sea Kayaking' is the title of a guidebook I researched, photographed and wrote in 2007-8. The guidebook covers the incredible South West coast from the Isle of Wight to the Severn Estuary. An updated Second Edition was published in 2011.- My wife and I are currently working on a number of projects; a guide to Britain's coastal environment, provisionally entitled 'Savage Shores', part of an upcoming guidebook to Britain's South East coast and an update to a whitewater guidebook to England. We both regularly write and photograph for magazines and other publications.
- This blog is simply a record of adventures and experiences along the way.

Great pic. Those gulls always sense my camera and disappear as soon as I pull it out!
They weren’t likely to leave, as long as I had chips…
