Saturday 19th May

Today was a very windy day, up to force 8 south westerly. I went out and photographed some of the rough seas. There aren't many birds around in this weather but I love the wind and power of the seas. The foam blows around the south end in huge lumps. The gannets and shearwaters fly close inshore and gulls feed on the huge piles of kelp washed in by the storm. The noise of the sea can be heard all over the island.
