Guillemots and Razerbills

I had spotted a good place for bird photography some days before on the cliffs south of Whinnyfold at a place called Green Bow. Now one early June evening I spent a fascinating hour photographing the guillomots, raserbills and the inevitable gull, which lined the cliff ledges.   Armed with my big telephoto lens I was able to get a good view of these delightful birds.  I notice for the first time that some of the guillomots were of the ‘bridled’ form with a white ring round the eye and stripe behind it, almost as if they were wearing glasses.

As for the razerbills, my angle on them was not great and it is harder to see them against the cliff face.
