Nesting Northern fulmars

A pair of Northern fulmars nest among the sea pinks and grasses on a small ledge on the steep cliff below Sumburgh Head, Shetland, Scotland. Fulmars are monogamous, long-lived birds that return to the same nest site year after year. They protect their nest by projectile vomiting a vile smelly goo at predators.
