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.

Who says romance is dead ?

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.

Downy Ducking's

A trip to Martin Mere and we where surprised to still see lots of duckings around. These little Shelduck where particularly cute.

Gizzies First Puffin

Another first for us, a trip to Bempton Cliffs to see the Puffins and Gannets. There where also Fulmars, Guillemots and Razorbills. So here he is my first ever sighting and photograph of one of the little guys perched precariously on the sheer cliff face.

Slalom At Bala

It is a long time since we made a journey to the National White Water Centre on the River Tryweryn, Bala to photograph a Premier Slalom event. This time the run was down to Chapel falls.
