This entry follows on from the earlier post (read below). We were out in a boat photographing the interesting birds that are feeding in Brixham Harbour at the moment. The Black Guillemot is a rare bird in Devon, not an annual visitor to our coasts here in Devon. I had been fortunate on Sunday to photograph and record my first ever but today in the smaller boat I was hopeful of being able to get some better photos and so it proved. Firstly we went out to look on the seaward side of the breakwater, but there was no sign unfortunately. We returned back in to the harbour and suddenly….. there it was…… quite a result. The boat drifted clsoer and closer to it and in the end with the bird just a few feet from us, we had not only brilliant views of it but the best photo opportunities imaginable.
++++Update and note of interest, this is not the same bird that I photographed on Sunday++++
Here are a few of the best.
