One of the #InchcolmIsland Fulmars. Amazingly elegant fliers, playing with the wind along the wavecrests. They can't land for toffee, though 😂 This one had missed its nest and tumbled to the foot of the cliff, where it sat looking disgruntled until taking off for another try.

#superSeabirdSunday A couple of sandwich terns, I love the inky scribbles on the juvenile, and the male-pattern baldness on the late-season adult :)

Similar vibe in the middle of Edinburgh. Grey Heron. We have had Little Egrets appearing in Scotland in the last few years, as well
