Out and about in Peel

I decided to go to Peel to day to see what the gale force winds had 

blown in. Me and Niki watched the sea crash in at Fenella beach and took a walk around the castle. 6 Purple Sandpipers were sheltering from the wind right next to the archway by the cafe.

After a brisk walk we walk back to the car where a load of Gulls were sat.

A Greater Black backed Gull took my eye as i saw a Blue ring on its leg.

Got the camera out and took a few shot.

I think this bird was ringed on Ireland's Eye, Howth Ireland by Chris Honan

and am waiting for conformation.

Distance of around 80 Miles and in these force 10 westerly winds probably got here in 10 minutes.
