Been meaning to visit for a while since my kids went without me last year as some of you may remember. They had blue skies in March and a lovely boat trip....
Mines was a tad different...Was over a 2 1/2 hrs drive and just after an hour or so on the road the sun disappeared...blooming typical but we were getting chauffeur driven by my dad ...well he knows the roads well and would be rude not to take advantage of a free taxi.
Anyhoo we arrive about 11.45 and got booked on a boat (Billy Shiel's) at 12.30 for a 2 hour trip...was blooming freezing and lovely grey sky...
Boat time....
All good until we turned the corner out the harbour
OMG the sea was rough and I was getting constantly getting sprayed
It was a rough ride out but we finally made it to the birds-and-wildlife
I didn't predict how difficult I would be to try take pics whilst the boat was bouncing up and down...yep a felt sick lol...right enough if my moaning here's what I did get out of 1600 pics taken..whittled down to 106 decent ones to a few for yous lol
Only realised I saw a couple of Razorbill when I looked through all the pics
Puffins woohooo
Walking on water
Guillemot Galore
Oh just spotted a Razorbill in this pic aswell as a Shag on a nest
Now for the gulls
Seals next
Humans on the island doing very important work..whilst holding their breath I would imagine lol
Oh the only pic I got of Gannets!!!
Okay that's plenty much dont wanna bore you all to tears..
It was a good trip despite the choppy waters
But a fish tea soon sorted that when we arrive back on dry land
Thanks for looking...I won't be going back on a boat any day soon lol
