15 minutes later and very wet we arrived at the island. Tide was out so the only way to get on shore was by dinghy and then across very slippery rocks. Unfortunately for me, I was the last to get into the first dinghy to the island leaving Ian behind to catch the next one. Not so sure-footed as in my younger days, a gentleman came to my rescue as I was teetering on one of the rocks unsure of which way to go and took my arm to guide me to shore. Ian being the Gazelle he is negotiated the hazard without mishap.

We had nearly four hours on the place to please ourselves and first thing was to find self-appointed Prince Michael's throne.

The rest of the time was taking photos....all 360 of them and mostly of the Puffins. Oh don't worry I'll not put them all on here but if anyone wants to look at a selection feel free to click on this link.

Looking forward to sharing your fantastic adventures on here, always accompnied by your fabulous photos of course.
Your turn of phrase always makes me smile, 'like a Gazzelle' indeed, but I know what you mean.
Puffins are the most endearing birds with their clownlike faces, you caught them posing so beautifully.

This years theme 'Seasons in the sun' wants countryside photos and I usually do close up wildlife so I don't think any of my photos would be any good. Thank you though, for thinking I'm good enough. It is much appreciated. Xx
