Guillemot bridled in flight-Edit

Taken on Lunga during our recent trip to the Isle of Mull off the west coast of Scotland. This Guillemot appears to be wearing spectacles! It is a bridled form (not a subspecies, but an example of dimorphism) the eye is ringed with white, which extends as a line towards the neck.

"Guillemots nest tightly packed on steep ledges and cliffs around the coast...it keeps them safe from predators." The Wildlife Trusts.

As always, thank you for stopping by to look at my images, any faves and comments are always appreciated.
