In the distance, in the sea, are wind turbines which come and go according to the atmosphere. Today we can't see them at all. Also various ships pass, mostly container ships so it can be quite interesting to look up their details on Vesselfinder marine tracking, find out where they're coming from/going to etc.Sue Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741069217480207333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-22600247852313031762020-08-27T15:58:54.443+01:002020-08-27T15:58:54.443+01:00Plenty of wildlife out there; some of which we see...Plenty of wildlife out there; some of which we see regularly, others are more shy.
