So on my first
solo trip into the colony I took the opportunity to sit and watch the birds.
Within the colony there is some action, and I enjoyed watching all the antics,
especially two fluffy cute chicks. But my attention was soon drawn to the beach
where many adults and the fledged juveniles generally hung out. It was a
wonderfully warm day (hence my t-shirt tan!) and the birds were often in the
water bathing and having a good old time! And then when I got home I realised
that some of the diving was not solely for a bath, but for food! These
creatures have such character and I’m loving working on them, and watching
them! I feel a bit like the paparazzi, every time I see a gull I want to whip
my camera out! But here it paid off and I’m chuffed with some of these shots!
