Has planned Met Maggie at the Fishing Museum in Anstruther for ourbtrip to Isle of May......We went for a Bit to eat and drink at the Watrefront in Anstruther, met a few old friends along the way which is always nice.
We walked back to the Boat area and did a Camera check inthe small beach area before Boarding the Boat
Maggie certainly knows the best places to be on the boat
Excellent warm weather not a breeze and Hot all day so lucky in that respect.
The Isle was everything I had hoped for and more and Maggie certainly was a Great guide and excellent company. a Really great trip would I do it again I think that some day I might return............Sightings not photographed manx shearwaters...Meadow pippit....Gannets all spotted fly towards The Isle of May from the Boat.

Telephoned Tony the Warden based in Leven to let him know Iwas off to Birnie Loch.....Gaddon was closed due to breeding birds
Opening again around Mind July!! For Birding Information contact Tony Wilson Fife Ranger Service 07985 707513.
You can purchase a key that fits all RSPB hides......but Tony very kindly lent me his key and told me where to locate it on arrival at Birnie Loch.....very quite the only person there apart from local dog walkers. My First Experience of a Hide really enjoy the Peace and quite and the birds coming and going. Returned the key with a letter of thanks Will post a few Photographs on the Forum to corresponde with the Blog.
