Little Auks

Six Little Auks over the surf the last one has hit the water !!

St Mary's Island just out of shot
Over the rocks & one overhead


Little Auk picked up and released at Blyth ,stunning little bird in the hand ,I have found many dead but this is a first one alive, it gave me a right pecking

And off it goes ,not sharp as it's hard to hold both bird and camera,so I had to let it go ,pick up the camera and get a shot.
This is the same bird it soon picked up And more on the sea they flew off just as I walked away
Purple Sandpiper in the setting sun


Sorry lads thats a dogs squeeky toy!!!,and not a Little Auk
