Caught the hydrofoil over to Lanyu - just over 2 hrs of swell - but managed to survive guts intactus!
First real swell bought squeals from the lower deck of day trippers. Birders are not deterred and brave the elements!
On the bird front - Pom Skua, Masked Booby, Wedge tailed and Streaked shearwater. The island is about 80k of the coast of the mainland and looks like something out of Jurassic Park...yikes!
Lots of day trippers...seems the Taiwanese have a thing about scooting around the island in packs.....it's like Margate but without the parkers and leather jackets.
Transport !
Accommodation!
Food!
And for the meat-eaters a new one on the menu.....fish stomachs...YUM...oh got that wrong...overwhelming YUK !
Bagged all the island birds within the first 4hrs....spot the owl in this picture!
We hoped for some migration fall...but weather too good! So much time spent sitting & chatting, with someone always on point duty looking up
Sea calm on return...
All in all a jolly good time !
