Isle of May birds and one from Dundee City Quay

Gannet photographed from the boat between Anstruther and Isle of May
Great Black-backed Gull following the boat towards Anstruther
A young Grey Seal at the Isle of May
Note that two of these Guillemots are described as "bridled" referring to the white marking around the eye. I was advised this was a variation and seen more the further north the birds are found.
Lesser Black-backed Gull, there were large numbers nesting on the island
This Shag is ringed and I hope to see it in Arbroath harbour next winter, some Shags seen there last winter were ringed on the Isle of May
The Red -throated Diver here has an injury which looks to be permanent to its left wing which probably accounts for it still being in City Quay in May
