It was windy again today. The sea at Rottingdean excels in such conditions.
A lone cormorant flashed across the water…
And I saw the first of the season's fulmars. 
They've returned to over-winter on the cliffs.

7 Dec 2009Wow i bet you had to run for cover in the second shot :yikes: I wanted to catch the sunset yesterday but the cloud came over at the wrong time awww, but caught some nice big waves though. Plenty more sunset opportunities though, just wish the weather would calm down its Winter already lol!

7 Dec 2009You're welcome.
You guys make me want to live closer to the ocean.
I did get out to Halifax last February, and got some lovely shots of the city.
If you ever visit Canada, don't pass up visiting Halifax!

8 Dec 2009Mark, yes we had to do a fair bit of dodging the waves. I don't mind the wind at this time of year, but I wish it would stop raining.

13 Dec 2009Oh nice photos. I wondered whenther to try rottingdean on the way back from Portsmouth this week, but went to Pulborough Brooks instead. I missed the fulmars but got 3 new species instead 🙂

13 Dec 2009Pulborough Brooks is always worth a visit. The fulmars aren't settled yet (none around this weekend) so you picked well.
