Looks like the numbers are now back to the pre-bird flu level. Unbelievable sight when I went a few years ago.

Sort of 🤣🤣

The Bass Rock off the Lothian coast is home to the world’s largest Gannet colony and it’s an insane place dominated by one species…

The bridled form of Common Guillemot in Shetland from June 2024 for #superseabirdsunday
It will be a few weeks before Guillemots become regular offshore in Rye Bay.

The cries of the Kittiwake were heard all around the Isle of May this week. If ever doubtful of their name they call it to you from the skies and cliffs…..

These fledglings contemplated life on the wing.

Two stocky seabirds stand on a rock against a background of blurred dried grass. The one on the left has its beak wide open. Their large beaks are orange at the tip, then striped in yellow, gray, and more yellow, with an orange patch between the upper and lower halves. Their bodies are black from the top of the head down the back and white on the front. Their feet are orange.

Awesome photograph!

A Gannet perches on the side of a cliff and is looking straight up. To the left two more Gannets are nestled against the cliff face whilst the right of image is a blurred grey blue sea. The Gannet is a large seabird with predominantly white body, wings and tail. The the tips of the wings are black on adult birds like this. The head is a peach orange colour with striking blue eyes and eye ring. The bill is large for grabbing fish and is a silver grey colour. The webbed feet of the bird are black with thin yellow stripes along the joints.

A Gannet reminding me to always look up at Bempton Cliffs this summer for #SuperSeabirdSunday 🪶

4 of our 6 Arctic Skua chicks have fledged on #StKilda, with the remaining 2 not far away now either. Both were hunkered down a couple of days ago, but will soon be on the wing too.
