A very warm walk warm to the cliffs this morning in a slight sea fret. I had no real plans and started taking images of the sun breaking through the sea fret - subject of a second blog page. I had no idea if the Black Browed Albatross would be viewable in these conditions, if I'm honest, I didn't really care!, but I walked to Staple Newk viewpoint on the off chance. Incredibly, the sea fret dispersed and I was immediately on the BBA flying around Staple Newk rock and spent 30minutes with the bird before heading back for breakfast! So now I'm going to bore you with some mediocre images of this fantastic bird......
Over a shimmering sea
Didn't quite get the settings right on the next images, but they are probably the Kittiwake equivalent of "sh*tting yourself with shock" (Sorry!)
All images taken handheld with Canon 7D Mk2 and 400mm 5.6 prime lens.
Fabulous! Wish I were there to see it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a special bird but totally lost and probably the only one in the northern hemisphere! Long may he/she remain!!
