early start! Dont you love winter

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

Kind of, had to break off and wait for the drizzle to pass, but it's very nice to get going before feeding time.

Here's the better focused one, I robbed the electric focus doodah off the Skelescope during the pause which has made things better. I also put the gamma down to half which got rid of a lot of the background noise.

Click to biggerise it.

BTW the spikes are purely natural this time.
