Funny moment of the year - Kittiwake colony

 Never let your brother choose the spot to photograph sea birds from as you just might get covered in a white fishy mess. See rock behind and yes you guessed it he stood right in the line of fire as it seemed the Kittiwakes would have a poo before landing and after taking off in the same spot. It was quite funny actually as he got more covered than me but it was the foulest thing I have ever smelled.
 We got covered in bird poo but it was worth it as we got some nice shots of the Kittiwakes nesting.
The calls of the Kittiwake colony is one of my favorite natural noises to hear as it reminds me of the summer and all the sea birds diving into a flat calm sea around my kayak.

Thank you
Mike
