Had a little trip up to Neist Point today. I've a few blurry photos of this Great Skua - mainly because it flew three feet over my head and I couldn't focus. Luckily it wasn't being aggressive, it was just heading into land and I was in the way! Minke Whales were just off the point but proved too difficult to photograph today. Puffins, Manx Shearwaters, Kittiwakes, a couple of late Barnacle Geese, and a Whimbrel completed a good day out. . . oh yes and there was a young Sea Eagle by the roadside on the way home but he was hunkered down and not being photogenic today.
