We recently took part in our annual trip to the Isle of May with our local bird club on Sunday. The weather forecast was not good with rain, wind and cold predicted - none of which you want for a boat trip! As it turned out, it was dry as the boat left the harbour, but the sea was rough for our crossing, so we were all very glad to step ashore. We were greeted by sunshine and hundreds of Arctic Terns which were settling down to nest near the harbour.
Having been quite a few times before we didn't explore much of the island this time, deciding instead to concentrate on the Puffins, which were flying in and out with fish, and the Terns who seemed to be using the passers by as target practice. All too soon it was time to leave for a much calmer crossing back to the mainland.
