THIS photograph, of a herring gull and its chick, was taken last summer on the Isle of May. "There is a wealth of birds there to photograph," says Gill Bell, "so it's well worth a visit." The island, in the Firth of Forth, can be reached by ferry from Anstruther or Crail. Visits are only permitted between May and September, so that the island's seal pups are not disturbed.
