RSPB Bird Cruise, Firth of Forth


Joined one of the annual summer bird cruises on the Firth of Forth this morning. Weather calm and peaceful as we set out from Queensferry but an hour later we were battling a gale force wind, and the boat had to turn back before we got to Inchkeith island.

Plenty of birds seen including good close-ups of Gannet, Puffin, Fulmar, Terns, Razorbill and Guillemot, plus a flock of common Scoter flying over.

Many grey and a few common seals hauled out on the rocks and buoys.
