It’s great fun to watch Black Guillemots bobbing on the waves off the coast of Westray.

And I love it when they take flight. This one is running the gauntlet of Arctic Skua attacks in a desperate attempt to bring a Butterfish back to its chick, buried in the shattered rocks here.

This time, it was successful.
