and Little Auks on my patch

never a good spot to get seabird images but records of a good influx estimated at a minimum of 72 birds (-2 that went away in Peregrine talons)

as well as trying to get some identifiable images I was trying to show the birds in the weather conditions that bring them south and also their vulnerability, small cute looking birds battling against the waves and wind and always at risk of attack from large gulls etc

odd birds landed in the surf and were quickly swamped by the huge waves --
