Seabirds are nesting on the cliffs and some black and white ducks or guillemots were at play in the sea below the point. Judging by the quacking I suspect they were ducks —
But these ‘duck’ pictures are horrible so I’ve replaced the second one with flowers. I’m slightly better at flowers –
they let me get right up close —
and I’m on safe ground with seagulls — not sure why I cut that top bird’s body off —
and there were a few of them —
cuddling up and nesting too —
Far-off wind turbines —
and close up bloggers were strutting their stuff —
While keeping a watchfull eye for the high speed rock doves on whirring wings that shoot past his shorn head as they dive at full chat before sweeping into the caves below. Yes I had put my own clippers on ‘short’ setting to tidy up a ‘bad’ haircut I got in Newton Stewart last week – thankfully it will grow back in 🙂
If I can nip along here I might get a better shot at the caves – maybe see how far into the cliff they go —
Well that didn’t help much — and look at that sky. My car is parked over that way —
Time to click a late primrose or two in a sheltered nook down the cliffs —
Before cutting back across the fields with there ewes and lambs —
That’s where the rain caught me —
and when a big drop hit me dead centre it was time to put the camera away and head for the car —
Loved it! Put me in the mood for more 🙂
