Black Guillemot


Whilst in Wales looking for Sea birds I took a detour to Holyhead after hearing that there were Black Guillemot in the harbour. I parked up and scanned around to see what was about. Not a lot it would seem. So I contented myself with looking out to sea. It was a nice sunny day, so it was pretty pleasant. Then walking back to the car and a few more scans around the harbour and I spotted one. Just bobbing around on the water. I managed to drive a little closer and get some pretty good views. lovely red feet very visible in the clear water. What a beauty!
