Razorbills

There's normally a small group of Razorbills on the rocks near the landing stage on Skomer Island. I didn't notice them on my way onto the island, but they were there as I was leaving, and I just had time to fire off a few shots before departing on the last boat back to the mainland:




A couple of flight shots, taken from the boat as it cruised near the island:



Still sorting through my Puffin shots!

  5. Thanks TexWisGirl. I should have guessed, but I only know the British Red Squirrel and the (naturalised here) American Grey (or Gray)Squirrel!
