North House

I went over to Westray today. I took the bus from Rapness to Pierowall, then walked over to the beach and west along the shore and cliffs to Noup Head. Pretty sunny at first but then it clouded over. Not much to report bird-wise. The auks are off the cliffs- the guillemots, razorbills and puffins. A few great skua about but only one arctic skua (and that from the ferry). Lots of fulmar chicks and several hundred gannets. More here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/octobermoth/
