| Finally, I've made it offshore for June!! Bit of a relief getting out here eventually, but the euphoria soon waned, as soon as i started seawatching. Nothing more to report than a few great and arctic skuas, one of which came extremely close to the side of the rig, giving great close ups. As is sometimes the case out here, my "work" can be distracted by slight movements in my periferal vision, as I look down the scope. These are moments of great excitement for me, as they indicate the presence of a passerine on the rig. So, when it happened today, i was rather disappointed to look down and see a racing pigeon plodding about at my feet! I was going to grab it and see if the chef could do anything with it, but it proved a little too nimble for me. So I had to make do with scampi. |
