The weather was very lovely yesterday, no wind and some sun. After the fuel had been delivered and I'd stacked the best part of a tonne of wood pellets, no blown delivery here, we headed out.

| The Earl's (somewhat draughty) Palace, and Zanzibar, from the Brough. |
I probably should have gone rock pooling but I fancied looking at birds. No white wingers this time.
 |
| Fulmar. |
The Fulmars had ababdonned cliff the other day in the wind, but they were back in force today.
There weren't many Shags about but this one was reasonably happy with a gentle, cautious approach.

Someone's been having fun with the beach stones.
There were just six Snow Bunts and they were not all that confiding but I managed to get a few pix.
 |
| Snow Buntings. |
Other birds present were, Herring Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, Common Gull, Skylark, Rock Pipit, Starling and Snipe.
We did have a bit of a nosy around on the beach and found the remains of Brittle Starfish, another starfish species, I'm not sure what it is, and various claws of crustacea which require some research. I brought these things home to photograph and haven't got around to it yet. I'd better soon as they are stinking the garage fridge out.
