Woke up this morning to clattering against Beez, something was moving in the corner of my eye, I could see a head bobbing up and down through the bathroom window. Looked out to see a preening Pecalin on Baby Beez and her friend sitting on the front. Out in the cockpit the clattering was soon identified as the wings of the surfacing birds diving for the fish sleeping under the girl.

The lady on the side suddenly spun round, focused and shot out of sight.

To appear over the side complete with friend.
 
 
The first time we visited Deep Bay, Antigua we were swimming and saw a gull sit on a Pecalins head. A shot I was desperate to get one day. Shame about the side rail getting into my first shot. Enough ladies were fishing around Beez so I felt hopeful.
