🪂 At only 3 weeks old and still unable to fly, Guillemot chicks leap from their high cliff nests to meet their fathers at sea

⛰️ Rathlin Island hosts the largest Guillemot colony in the UK & Ireland, regularly surveyed by the Seabird Monitoring Programme👇

Twenty jet skis on the beach at Rathlin harbour just now. Roaring in at very high speed, some of them blaring dance music as they come. Church Bay and Rathlin Sound is a precious marine habitat being abused by these selfish arseholes.

Here's a pic of two Puffins I took on Rathlin, off the north coast of Ireland about twelve years ago. They were sitting on a ledge just below me.

A few reached out asking about my silence on social media.. I have decided to take a step back in life to reflect and use my free time and few years ahead to restore this old walled garden on Rathlin island and re-open it as a vibrant haven.. On left garden now, on right an inspiration from Scotland
