Still plenty of Fulmar action, but also, as can be seen from this close-up image...
Guillemots!
Shags were busy nest-building...
often with what ever was to hand (beak?).
A bemused-looking Rock Dove.
And did I mention the plethora of Fulmars?
On the way back home, we took a moment to look across the Bay of Semolie...
which necessitated a quick scramble down the cliffs to recover a balloon.
Once down on the shore, it became obvious that, despite last weekend's Orkney-wide annual beach clean, it is a huge and ongoing task to remove marine litter from the environment.

Wonderful. Lovely to see your northern feathered friends. B
In the coming months, I'm hoping to be able to capture closer images of these bird species and a few more too.
Love the pictures Mr W. Particularly the rock dove. I think that's because they are often ignored due to their domesticated cousins and yet your image the bird looks lovely and I'm appreciating its the real deal!
