(; It was a fabulous day but having seen countless Puffins before, just seeing them feeding the puffling was my one goal and that didn't happen. Nop won't change my heading but will change the spelling. The slip of the finger on the keyboard is my excuse! As to the smell, it was worse when we were on South Stack, and one does get used to it eventually.<br />XxxIan and Irene Jameisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619780891302537493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169865556277364121.post-27887970800573275192022-07-07T07:09:56.565+01:002022-07-07T07:09:56.565+01:00Just wait till you get here in October, Irene Jame...Just wait till you get here in October, Irene Jameison, I am going to give you a sound beating for complaining of disappointment! How double dare you!? What a fabulous trip you had! Judging by the heading (misspelt ...) I thought at the very least Ian had fallen overboard!<br /><br />And, by the way, just think of how you would have had to hold your nose, breathe through your mouth and hold the camera steady while protecting yourself from the terrible stench of the guano... We have friends who live down by the lagoons near Waikanae Beach and there are three large trees on one side of the lagoons and a couple of trees on the other side, that all have a large colony of resident shags. The stench from 5 trees' worth of shags is pretty horrible - fortunately they are more than a hundred metres from Bruce and Gary's! But some houses are within 20 metres - aaarrrggghhh! <br /><br />When you are here and have recovered from the beating I am going to give you, I will take you down to B&G's and you can see the shags and the black swans as well.<br /><br />Now, task number one is to change the title of your post to more properly reflect that fabulous things you DID see.<br /><br />MxxMarilyn, nb Waka Huiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485346080040799974noreply@blogger.com
