Out of the blue and into the blue

Out of the Blue, a trip, into the blue with Martin and Liz, Thousand Islands from St David's

Grassholm and its Gannets were looking busy today - lots of diving and feeding groups, youngsters leaving the island - Four species of Gull (HerGull, LBBgull, GBBgull)  and  approx 200 Kittiwakes with some Juveniles.  Unusually a group of about ten Ringed Plover taking a rest. Right across St Brides bay - large numbers of sea birds feeding, Gannets, Manx Shearwaters, Gulls mainly Kittiwakes, some Shags and Guillemots also - A great Skua taking advantage of the food as well.  Good numbers of grey seals as well and on a circular route coming home Common Dolphin put in an appearance - Returning through Ramsey Sound - more Grey Seals, Raven and about 50 or so Black headed gulls with kittiwakes feeding in the tide.  Once again a lovely selection of our marine wildlife.
