Guillemot
Burghead Scotland
There had been reports of rafts of auks being washed inshore due to lack of food / illness ?Pleased to say I did not see much evidence of this in the Moray Firth area, in fact local guides said there were no more than normal. The guillemots sheltering in the harbour seemed healthy and were diving and feeding regularly. I did report a couple of seemingly poorly birds to SSPCA and understand they were collected and taken to hospital !
