Farnes Part 3

Not really got time with all the stuff I've got to sort before the cruise, but I'd got these photos edited and ready to go before I headed off to Paris, so if I blog them now that's another page I can tear off my to-do jotter block!  Paris blogs will have to wait until post the cruise.

This is the trip with Mol.  We were very lucky with the weather, and I did get some good stuff.  Of course, for this trip the main focus was definitely on all the newbies.

Teenage shag

From one auk to another...

Are you looking at me?

Guillemot chick

Just for completeness - young herring gull

That really can't be a comfy position to rest in!

Turnstone

Erm...

Eek

and finally oops!

Yep, that's me after my final shift

If that's what parenting does for you, I'm so glad I didn't!

Bottle & sma is so much easier!!

Sandwich tern sitting on a ball of fluff - or possibly with chick

Mol's shots of me were better - I couldn't get back far enough for a full length!!

Selfie of me with arctic tern (look closely at the eye!)

Now you can see just why I couldn't get that full length of Mol!!
