Please don't get excited, there are NO real Puffins on the reserve!
Today is the first anniversary of my Sony RX10 Mk4! You'd have thought by now I would have it sussed, but no, every day is a school day and I don't think I will ever master it! Today, also, I decided to play with my glass ball and "attempt" to get something "different"!
Bird wise, the Gannets are now thinning out, but juvenile Guga are still being serviced. Again no sign of the Albatross and migrants were thin on the ground / air / bushes et al! A few Guillemots and Razorbills can be seen on the sea. A single Swallow with a House Martin flew through, but the best bird was probably a Jay, very uncommon in this area, and guess who didn't see it?
Not a bad start to the day!

I had never heard the word guga before and had to look it up. Came across this astonishing article about how certain Hebridean people eat them and have been doing so since the Iron Age. Fascinating! https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/scotland-blog/2014/jan/27/scotland-conservation-gugahunt
ReplyDeleteI love the word Guga!
