11 October 2023 - Second helpings of Red-footed Booby!

With the kids off with Mum to Centre Parks, I thought I'd spend a few days on the Isles of Scilly with the boys... First job was to act as a lucky charm for Doug and John's trip out to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse - they'd had a couple of less-than-successful attempts earlier in the week...

The seas were lumpy this evening - very lumpy! I was talking to Fraser, Captain of the Sea King when we road one wave and went smack down in to the trough - only to be wacked by another wave. This caused an almighty bang and the front window of the Sea King was a gonner! 

The rest of the trip was still lumpy but eventually highly successful - there, on the top of the Bishop Rock Lighthouse was the Red-footed Booby. Will it been seen again this year? Will it back or still present next year when trips start going out to the lighthouse again? Only time will tell...
