You've found a lovely group here Squiddly. A species we don't have that many pictures of in the Gallery either.

A great image - many thanks.

What an interesting trip you must have had and what a wonderfully composed study of these lovely chaps.

Wow, what a great group capture! I would love to see this in person, if I could stay warm that is.
