PUFFINS! I never get tired of seeing these amazing little birds in the wild and it was so great to be back on the Isle of May this week for the Scottish Seabird Centre despite big swells and choppy conditions getting out there on the rib 🚤

Puffins with sand eels in their beaks means their eggs have hatched and they now have a chick to feed. 38-44 days after hatching, pufflings will leave their parents burrow under the cover of darkness and head out to sea for the next 3 years🐧🌊🏝️📷

Over 100 swimmers took a dip at the weekend in the bracing North Sea to mark the launch of The Ripple Effect: A Celebration of Britain’s Brilliant Wild Swimming Communities – and raise money for Mental Health Swims.
The party on Portobello Beach in Edinburgh brought together groups from across Scotland: The Pittenweem Menopausal Mermaids, The Blue Balls, The Polar Bears, The Blue T**s, The Perkies and many others.
The book, by Vicky Allan and Anna Deacon, looks into the Covid-era rise of wild swimming groups and what makes them tick, featuring stories around male mental health support, menopausal solidarity, alcohol recovery, skinny dipping and therapeutic groups.
Funds were also raised for Mental Health Swims, the UK-wide mental health peer support community.
The Ripple Effect follows-up on Taking The Plunge, Anna Deacon and Vicky Allan’s 2019 bestselling coffee table book about the health benefits of wild swimming.
The Ripple Effect: A Celebration of Britain's Brilliant Wild Swimming Communities, by Anna Deacon & Vicky Allan, is out now, published in hardback by Black & White Publishing at £20.

The Bass Rock is home to 150,000 Northern Gannets in peak season making it the world’s largest colony. The current population is unknown after a significant number of the colony were killed last year by the avian flu epidemic which stopped all landings on the island. It was great to get back onto the Bass Rock this week for the first time in 2 years to photograph them for the Scottish Seabird Centre and see the colony thriving with lots of gugas (gannet chicks) of varying ages finding their feet and wings. The gannets who survived avian flu are noticeable by the colour changes in their eyes making the usual pale blue iris colour turn to a dark marbled effect or completely black 👀🐣
So great to get back on the Isle of May for the Scottish Seabird Centre after the avian flu outbreak last year stopped any landings on the island. Puffins are the most amazing little birds who call the island home between April and mid-August with 46,000 breeding pairs making up part of the 250,000 island seabird population. When the Puffins leave the Isle of May, they spend the rest of the year at sea before returning in April to the same burrow to make more pufflings 🏝
