We got in after dark last night and had no idea of the spectacular views from our room.

| St. Brides |
We started out the day with breakfast at the small diner at St. Brides where we had had dinner last night, There was the same attention to detail.
Our first visit today was to the Cape St. Mary Ecological Reserve. It as one of the highlights of the trip.
 |
| We saw three red foxes from the boardwalk up to the front entrance. Their parents go over to where the murres nest and bring back eggs or baby murres to feed them |
We took a short walk with an excellent guide along the cliffs to see the nesting sites of gannets, murres, kittiwakes and razor bills. It is difficult to capture the site with its constant movement of birds and the noise they make. The kittiwakes were upset as an eagle had flown by them earlier. I will just post the best of my pictures:

| Mainly gannets |

| Kittiwakes |

| Murres and one kittiwake |
This was a fascinating visit, not only for the sea birds but also for the plant life.
We then went on to St. Johns and enjoyed a city tour
