High Heli Over Cardiff
 
A quick question with my 'spotter hat' on...

There has been a small heli (looks like a gazelle) hovering at about 3000 - 4000 ft, stationary over Cardiff City Centre for a couple of hours today.

We're used to being bothered briefly by Po - helos and even Tory-Banner towing helos but this thing has been up from about 1145 til 1400.

The reason I ask is because its distracting me from my work (and I'm a bit of a geek!)

If only I put as much effort into my studies as I do reading this site!

Yours inquisitively
