This pair of Arctic Terns are just settling down on the Isle of May to nest. Great to have them back
Nesting Razorbill…stunning birds. Similar to Guillemots they’ll incubate a single egg under their feet
Great news as our first Guillemot chick has hatched on the Isle of May. Guillemots lay just a single egg and incubate under their feet like this individual- you can see the bulge of the egg under its stomach as it incubates
Just a very stunning day on the Isle of May today…

C’mon guys, seriously, there’s plenty of grass to go around, no need to fight over it! I really enjoyed visiting @rspb.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs last week, a spectacular site bustling with birds. #BirdOfTheDay – #BusyBirds #SuperSeabirdSunday #Birds #UKWildlife #BirdPhotography #EKC 🌿
The Isle of May is a rugged National Nature Reserve in Scotland's Firth of Forth hosting over 250,000 seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and razorbills and a massive grey seal colony. If you want to visit the Hebrides, Shetland and Isle of May in future check out @wilddiscovery.bsky.social 💚

One for #superseabirdsunday for sure…
Post #8 in this thread was Kittiwakes gathering grass for their nests at Bempton Cliffs. For post #9 here are Gannets doing the same thing – or attempting to acquire nesting material by stealing someone else’s! #BirdOfTheDay – #BusyBirds #SuperSeabirdSunday #Birds #UKWildlife #BirdPhotography #EKC 🌿
