Ramsey Island today

What another fantastic day for a visit to or, a boat trip around Ramsey Island - I chose the boat trip, although perhaps I should have done both - Lots of seals, some right alongside the boat, fantastic tide races - cliffs - sea birds including Gulls, Auks and Fulmars (see pic) and, mega views of a  Peregrine falcon (see pic) plus Raven, Chough, Wheatear etc etc  On a personal note lovely to see some long standing friends as well. 

More from Galloway

Two photos from Galloway at the end of March - a Herring gull bathing in the park at Galloway and part of an amazing 200 plus group of Greenland white fronted geese near Stranraer - they were a long way off and taken with a canon 500mm lens - I have seen small groups before at Slimbridge and in Pembrokeshire + Ceredigion but never a group like this - I wish them' bon voyage' for their flight over the mountains of Iceland to their breeding gounds
