Gannets at sea




the flock flying in the driving rain is passing over what used to be called Vorran Island but I soon found out on the new OS Explorer map all place names have become Gaelic which is OK if you speak it but for us foreigners it makes actually finding anywhere you know of on the map impossible! anyway the island produced many a pilgrimage in the 70's -- after camping within 300m of the bird for a week in 1974 and not knowing about it (could have self found it!) had to make a return trip in 1978 to see the Steller's -- such is life
