Gifts for my beloved!
My call to the cliffs today was well supported by great weather, blue skies, sunshine, occasional cloud but challenged by a strengthening blow that required me to keep on my fleece! The breeding season is now in full swing with the young of most birds easily seen. For those with cameras, some excellent photo opportunities can be had! Of interest, the Puffin nest at Grandstand viewpoint is allowing occasional telescope views of the Puffling but the tunnel is dark making images impossible. Also, a Puffin carrying sand eels near Bartlett Nab, stood on a ledge(distant) for nearly an hour and made no effort to deliver its cargo to a hungry Puffling!
Today, I found the glorious Gannets in a very photogenic mood!
Gannets with young, known as Gugas
Feed me mum, but please don't eat me!
And of course, the (loveable) Puffins
Always a delight, a Bridled Guillemot with chick (Jumpling)
And Kittiwakes
"Are you sure this is ours?
Razorbills

And an ever watchful Herring Gull
And finally, today's sightings

Lessons learnt during the day - wear a hat for longer as my brow is burning LOL
For ID I was one of the Ogston Bird Club group.
Hello Bryan, yes it was good to meet you on Sunday and I'm glad you had a great day. I know what you mean about large number of images - on Sunday a lot of mine were binned as I spent time trying to take birds in flight! I'll have a look at your images. All the best.
