June was a month of adventures, amongst which a fantastic trip to the Isle of May off the Fife coast. It was a magical day, starting with a one hour boat ride from Anstruther. For once, I'm struggling to put into words the anticipation experienced as we set sail and then the sheer wonder on arrival, seeing puffins, gulls, tern, shags, cormorants, oystercatchers, guillimots and even the odd common seal at each turn. Two hours was plenty of time to explore the island and take some spectacular close up pictures of the inhabitants (although we would have happily stayed another two).
I suspect that a trip to the Isle of May might become an annual tradition, just looking through my photos makes me want to go back. I would recommend the Isle of May to anyone who has even a passing interest in birds, it's a memorable day out (

I'll write about the other things I've been getting up to soon, the next blog post is already forming itself in my mind so you shouldn't have to wait long to find out.
