A really exciting weekend taking photos of a walrus and goose barnacles. My first ever walrus and my first ever goose barnacles.
Freya had been seen in Germany at the beginning of the year, and then the Netherlands and Northumberland before making her way to Shetland. She covered a journey of around 1050 miles to get to Shetland and has another 1350 miles to travel if she is planning to return to Svalbard.
I was so lucky as a lovely man called Hamish noticed me taking photos from the shore and gave me a lift in his boat so that I could get closer to Freya.
The barnacles were washed ashore by Storm Barra.
