A blast from the past


JSRA Jet Ski race Meeting at Leisure Lakes at Tarleton. Lots of action but a lot less competitors than I remember.

A photo from our trip to Bempton Cliffs last week. I am not sure if this is normal behavior, but this Gannet was definitely picking a bunch of flowers rather than grass from the cliffs tops before flying off with a bunch in it's beak.
