ON THE HIGH SEAS

RSPB Birding boat trip from Bridlington today which meant a 6:30am get away from home in time for the 9:30 sailing.

Brilliant trip with Sooty and Manx Shearwaters right up past the boat, Bonxie and Arctic Skua, and loads of gorgeous Gannets.

Clockwise from top left: Airforce boat steaming past; Airforce boat going down, sorry, in a trough; sandbank bell in the sunshine; "Look behind you!" big wave behind a fishing boat.

It was a wonderful day, though the seas were "lively", and we came back soaked and well-salted!
