30th May Second favourite shot by pamknowler

30th May Second favourite shot

I am getting ready to go away for a few days and just don't have time to get out with the camera today. So in my cleanup operation I found my second most favourite shot - EVER!! This was taken on a trip to Skomer Island off the coast of Pembrokeshire. Another magical day surrounded by puffins - thousands of them!! Flying in with sand eels in their beaks for their young and landing at our feet. Just breathtaking!! This is my favourite shot of the day and like the gannets I took hundreds!! Hope you like it!!

I just want to thank you all for putting my Gannet shot on PP yesterday. I was blown away with all your Favs and fab comments!! You are such great supportive people and you give such wonderful encouragement!!

Not sure if I will be able to upload anything for the next few days. I am going to the South Coast and am hoping to get some beach and sea shots!! Have a great weekend all!!

WOW just seen this on PP on 31st May! Two shots on PP at the same time! Thank you all so much for all your wonderful comments and Favs! You are such a great group of people who are so very supportive! Thanks again!
I am off now down Climping on Sea for a few days. I will catch up with all your shots when I get back if I don't get the chance while I am away.
Instant FAV. No wonder it's so high in your ranking.

Another FAV! This time I know the spot, we went to Skomer a couple of years ago, spent a week in St David's waiting for the weather to improve so that the ferry could cross and then on the last day of our trip is cleared!! Fantastic place to visit. I think I might revisit some of my favourite shots as well as I have a few gaps to fill in my project!!
