The Black Guillemot is a stunning bird in breeding plumage with its jaunty red legs and feet. In winter it presents a more modest appearance as it forages along the inshore coast often in bays.
I've been to their breeding colonies and its amazing to see these birds at work and play. I hope to get to one of our offshore islands this year, Covid restrictions permitting.
