WOW - look there is a Kestral - I did not expect them by the coast!

* stops and looks up *

It is magnificant.

Oh look - over there on top of the cliffs - what is that?

* walks towards the cliffs transfixed by the beautiful Puffins *

Puffins? That's something I definately did not expect. I've never seen one before - let's see if we can get closer without scaring them away!

<BB<

Me either but I am sure that is what they are!

* takes BB's hand ans starts climbing over the rocks towards the Puffins *

* whispers * They are beautiful, just look at the colours on their beaks

Wow!
Before, the closest thing I'd ever got to a puffin was a children's paperback book. But now - I'm speachless!
Yellow, orange, more golden colours than there are words for.

* watches the birds in amazement *

Look at that one! Look at that one!
It looks as if it's only a day old. Aww!!!
