I reckon you are standing quite pretty now for all the help you need planting trees and cutting grass all summer if necessary :-)
Lovely pics even if taken while you were absent and when you do go you will know exactly what you are watching!!

Lot to learn

Hi Linda
Shame you missed the trip but you and us benefited from seeing the great photos of so many bird species and the seals thrown in for good measure. I did the boat trip in 2019
And took a load of photos but there were no puffins or gannets when I went from memory, I shall have to look at the photos again to refresh my memory.
Thanks for sharing Linda
