Mrs WJ and I recently had the opportunity to stay on Havergate for a few nights, working through a long list of jobs that always seem to accumulate on a Reserve. It's an extension to our normal roles as Guides and Work Party volunteers and is an amazing way to experience the Island from dawn to dusk (to be fair, you don't get much choice with all the noisy gulls around!).
For those that don't know, Havergate is Suffolk's only island and can only be reached by boat, so when Warden Lyndsey disappears back upriver, we're effectively marooned. That means all food, drink, even water have to be brought along (no chance of a takeaway being delivered!), though the accommodation is surprisingly comfortable with power and lights courtesy of low voltage solar panels.
This is the second time we've stayed on the Island a few days, but this time I thought I'd produce a short video of the trip rather than a number of photographs (the pics are all on my Flickr stream).
So sit back & enjoy

A cracking video - makes me quite jealous. Interesting bit of movement in the post under the Herring Gulls feet - there appears to be some pulsing which I don't really notice on any other screens - correction, I see it on the Common Gull portion too. Seems be where there is detail at the bottom of the screen.
That's an artefact from me still working out how to get the best out of DaVinci Resolve's post-production stabilisation features. You don't notice it if the subject is in water or a bush (something that the eye expects to move anyway), but it's possible to pick it up in this situation.
A lovely video WJ, thanks for sharing
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks for the explanation.
