Chicks Special...

We are over half way through the breeding season but there is still lots to see around the Isle of May NNR. Lot's of balls of fluff are still to be seen all over the island.


Eider Ducklings are doing well on the loch


An Arctic Tern chick wedges itself between rocks in an attempt to camoflage


 This little Arctic Tern chick has only hatched recently


This Tern chick likes to run around at the feet of May Princess passengers while they disembark to boat


Pied Wagtails are still producing young. They are one of the two regular breeding songbirds on the island


The Lesser Black-backed Gulls looking over their two chicks


A Puffling is stuck in the vegetation. This bird was released at dusk


Plump Kittiewake chicks near the South Horn 


A Guilliemot chick sits in the shade of it's parent

I managed to get a few close up shots of the Island Longtails. Not a chick but still quite cute!
