Some retrospective notes - made in 2018!

Climbing along cliff tops, and having puffin for dinner.

Men collecting eider down.

Very woolly!

My goodness, that must be a heavy coat to tolerate, although necessary in the depths of winter.

Richard getting up-close and personal with a pair of puffins at Látrabjarg, the western tip of Iceland. They really don't want to take off unless they feel there is no other option, so wait and wait and are very tolerant. This makes it very easy to take great photos of them, (and easy to catch, not that we did that!)
