Thanks all! If you ever get the chance to visit the Bass Rock take it. You'll be right in amongst the birds and frame-filling close-ups like this are everywhere you look.

Linda, there are somethings that even I won't lie down in! 100 years of accumulated gannet poo, turned to slurry by the rain, is quite high up that list.
