After turning the corner at Duncansby head, one of the noticeable differences in heading south is that as I’m walking into the sun, the landscape ahead tends to be silhouetted, so best pictures require looking behind, which means I’m often missing the best light on a subject. On the plus side, it’s giving the sunburn on the back of my neck the chance to recover!

The two “gulls”, are actually fulmars. They look superficially similar to gulls but in fact are not closely related.
I’ve been following your blog since day 5 if I remember correctly. I love it. A huge thank you for sharing your “labour of love”.
And thank you from me too! It’s been a long time since I could visit many of the places I knew in childhood, so it’s been interesting to see them again through your eyes. 🙂
