I really like shots of seabirds in their environment so when I knew that I may have the chance to take photographs whilst at sea yesterday, I took my camera along and spent an hour on the upper deck as we left France from Roscoff on the way back to Plymouth. I was really hoping to see and photograph Skua sp. or/and Shearwaters but It was quiet and only the occasional Northern Gannet put in an appearance. I ran out of patience after an hour  and the draw of joining my friends in the lounge bar  beneath proved to be more of an attraction I am sorry to confess.
