This time took a few fish with us to see if we could attract the birds to us rather than scouring the seas for activity. Seemed to work well with Sooty Gull, Bridled and Common Tern and an Arctic Skua appearing from nowhere ! Lesson learned was that we need more fish - so next trip out will see us stocked up with adequate quantities :-)) Some pics attached, please also visit my Pbase account for many more images.
