Guillemots on Staple Island

I spent most of our time on Staple Island on Monday morning trying to photograph the Guillemots in flight. They breed on vast colonies on the island and it is difficult to see how they pinpoint their mate when returning with fish. 

Farne Islands Guillemots and Razorbill

The Farne Islands has around 49,000 Guillemots of which about 5 per cent are Bridled with the spectacles and stripe. There are only around 600 Razorbills but they are on the increase.
