Seabirds

I was out at the seacliffs today checking on the stage of breeding seabirds. The first kittiwake and guillemot chicks are now hatching.
A newly hatched kittiwake peaks out from under its parent.


If you look closely, you can see tiny balls of fluff under the bellies of the adult guillemots.
