    LOL "pimp my gull" - Nice one. But it does look like it has had a paint job. The beautiful colour behind it is a lovely backdrop.

    Nice pics, Rolf!

    We used to love sitting on the cliffs near our old place, watching Gannets dive into the sea for fish! Ailsa Craig was just offshore, and (according to the RSPB who manage the reserve there) is the third biggest Gannetry in the British Isles. Puffins and other sea birds nest there too!
