Hardy little bird
Taken from the top of the ancient cliffs at the Butt of Lewis with wind-blown waves and a lone sea bird (centre of frame), Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Along the cliff tops it was challenging to stand up in the strong winds, but fortunately for my camera gear, there wan't any wind-blown rain at the moment.
