Well i think its fair to say that i witnessed the one day of the year that the majority of the breeding birds arrive on the breeding grounds ! AMAZING
When me and fellow photographer Brad James and i arrived at the cape there was approximately 3-4000 gannets and many thousand kitty wakes already on the breeding cliffs.
There was thousands and thousands of murres in the water but not one on the cliffs.
I made this picture this size so that you could try and take in the number of murres that i seen !
Later in the day the murres took flight almost all at the same time and began to swarm the nesting cliffs !
By 3:00 most of the murres were on the cliffs searching for nest sites !
Theres A LOT more to come about the cape and its residents in my next post.
That second last pic is a Razorbill!
