UK Trip (Duncansby Head)- Fulmar + more

These pics are from Duncansby Head which is at the top of Scotland (near John o'Groats). It was drizzling and very windy but the seabirds were amazing.
These are some of the cliffs the birds nest on (the little white spots are Fulmars and Kittiwakes):


This is one of the Stacks of Duncansby which was covered in nesting seabirds:

Guillemots at the bottom of the cliffs:

Puffins:

This is the first place I ever saw wild Puffins and was super excited to see them, I wasn't sure I'd find any but as it turned out there were lots of them. This one has a Puffling:

Kittiwakes:

Great Black-backed Gull:

Fulmar with baby:

Baby Fulmars:

I really like this last one, it's one of my favourite photos from the trip.

Enjoy!
