The weather forecast stated dull, rain and the possibility of thunderstorms! We go long sunny periods, blue sky and mild temperatures! After being missing for two days, the Black Browed Albatross returned (just as it did last Sunday) giving the WOW factor to many visitors (a double WOW if you add in Puffins as well!). On days like this, I wish I had my DSLR with me, but as it is my volunteering day, it is my duty to get people onto the birds.
I was never going to get the gob smacking up close and personal images of the BBA that adorn social media, but I did manage some
Razorbills and Guillemots have reduced further as their breeding season come to an end. Most of the birds remaining are probably non breeding birds or females as the male accompanies the "jumpling" in its journey out to sea. It was nice to find one Guillemot with "jumpling" still on the ledges.
Kittiwake chicks, when they fledge and during their first year are known as "Tarrocks". They are splendid birds with an obvious "W" in black across their wings.
