Another day of lockdown exercise and I've run out of places locally where I can walk without repeating my tracks. I was back along the cliffs at Arbroath where there were at least 400 Kittiwakes and nearly 100 Gannets, along with Razorbills, Fulmars, Shags, Cormorants and Herring Gulls. I couldn't decide which video to use so just posted all of the ones that weren't shaky.
All photos and video taken on a Nikon Coolpix P1000, and although not bought for flying birds I think it produces better than expected. The only issue is when using ridiculous zoom the field of view is very small, but I shouldn't moan as the Gannets were hundreds of metres offshore.
Gannets heading north a fair bit offshore, click here for reduced speed video they appear to pick an extra bird, or perform a changeover of lead bird
