Gannets

A  nice, sunny cycle around Westray including up to Noup Head and the gannetry there. Quiet as far as spring migrants with three wheatear, 1 swallow, 1 whimbrel, 1 great skua. Below Noup Head on a skerrie were about 110 grey seals (extra). Plenty of guillemots, fulmars and kittiwakes on the cliffs but just spotted a couple of distant puffins.
I stopped at Rendall's cafe to have a coffee and some blueberry sponge, yum, then headed out to the west of the island, then to the ferry.
