TO BIRD ROCK IN AN OPEN BOAT 165 
KITTIWAKES ON THEIR NESTS 
assuring myself that the exposures were rightly and fully 
timed in giving them about one eight-hundredth of a second. 
I also climbed down the ladders at the southeast corner and 
took note of the Murres and Razor-bills. At the top I snapped 
at birds passing a fixed point off some projecting rock, or as 
they alighted or left, as well as at passing Gannets. Murres 
and Kittiwakes nested mostly down below. The afternoon 
was devoted to descending the main ladder on the west side, 
and from it photographing Kittiwakes on their nests, and 
then clambering around and up toward the north, where there 
was a splendid array of birds, a wonderful sight.
