Kittiwake
An afternoon wander, unusual for me, on the cliffs, but I had to experience the fresh sea air! A few more people about than I normally experience on my crepuscular walks! I have seen Kittiwakes this year, but today I managed to get an image as one briefly landed on a ledge below Bartlett Nab. Mainly Gannets and Fulmars today, the Auks represented by a hundred or so Razorbills, a few Guillemots and no visible Puffins. No sign of the Black Redstart but a sudden flight of a small bird turned out to be a Rock Pipit. A large pod of Dolphins headed north west, but I only managed one record image.

Razorbills
Allopreening, a used by most seabirds as an endearment of their life time bond
Razorbills are now being trained to prevent rock slips on the cliffs!😇
Gannets
Gannets "skypoint" to communicate they are about to move or vacate the cliff ledge
An "air traffic control" nightmare! (above two images)

Thank you for looking.
