Black Guillemot
Black Guillemot / cepphus grylle. Oban, Scotland. 14/05/22.
Poor light the whole time I was in Oban ensured the sea remained a flat grey colour. I'm disappointed with most images I made of BGs swimming - this is one of the more satisfactory ones, where at least there's a catchlight in the bird's eye!
This Black Guillemot was captured taking a breather after diving for food. It was looking up at the esplanade wall where drainage pipes provide nesting sites. Perhaps it had a mate up there checking one out.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
