Cruise 15 Sept

The cruise got of to a good start meeting up with some old friends from my Antarctic adventure - would it live up to the Sooty Shearwaters and Albatross - help!!  No worries, I was assured they had enjoyed with some lifers....  the Yorkshire Belle and RSPB seabird cruises strike again!

Seriously it did get of to a good start with a Pomerine Skua skirting the beach as we left the harbour, a couple of Bonxies and an Arctic Skua kept attention focussed - plenty of puffins (?) - with a close Manx (sorry no pics-  camera jammed!) and finished with a Sooty Shearwater.  Plunging Gannets in the bay provided additional excitement...........
