Breakfast is served!
A later than normal start to our walk, leaving the house at 0600hrs. A pleasant morning with sunny periods and variable cloud cover, but a pleasantly cool south westerly blow. It seemed very quiet, with few passerines. On the cliffs, most of the Auks have now departed out to the sea, requiring good optics and a lot of patience! The Kittiwakes and Gannets now dominate the cliff ledges in both number and noise. Many of the young Gannets (Gugas) are gaining some dark feathers. The Kittiwake juveniles, once fledged are known as Tarrocks and grace the air space and ledges. Kittiwakes are very pretty birds but the Tarrocks more so!
