After the crazy horses of yesterday a welcome change of pace. The sea has calmed down and we are able to get our breath a little. We normally come to Seahouses in the summer time when the wildlife is abundant and interested in rearing the next generation. Now they only have survival on their mind. The climate is very strange around here. You only have the travel a few miles in any direction and you are back into the remnants of a snow storm that hit the area on Friday. However at Seahouses there is no trace of the snow and the air is very dry - I am sure that the sea has a lot to do with this.
Today I spent some more time with the eiders. I would have loved to have spent longer but I kept sinking into the sand and ended up saturated - not a good idea in the cold. Still I manged to capture some lovely portraits of these endearing seaducks. However, tomorrow it is Holy Island and the westher is starting to look more menacing - lets see what tomorrow brings.
