‘Adorable’, Fulmar chick still in the nest on the #Northumberlandcoast Be careful not to get too close, as you might just receive a shower you wouldn’t like. #seabirds @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social @smp-seabirds.bsky.social #nebirding

I reckon that's a passage 'schinzii' - cinnamon rather than chestnut of 'alpina' and shortish beak - so that one is probably passing through.
