GALE FORCE 9

because of the the high winds and large tide forecast, the prince of wales was shut,so i had to make do with the inner harbour,it soon came clear even that was pushing it,with no sign of the BTD until very late on it gave a quick show, then it attack the two guillimots then had been sitting by the gates into the wellington docks
it was very dark and gloomy but beggars cannot be choosers,so i made the most of it with the guillmots close in so the camera got a good hammering

then one my favourites bird made a appearance,so i was in my element,could of sat there all day, it may just be a RAZORBILL, but it was close and marvellous to watch, as it is so much difference to a guillimot with the way it sits in the water, it diving could go on but it would bore everyone




i must admit i rather be blown all over the place and watching the auks then standing looking at waxwings,getting a razorbill in touching distance is so more rewarding for me
