Razorbill

magnifique pingouin

It's a Razorbill Dan :-)) Glad you like it though - thank you,

Ich habe noch nie Tordalken in freier Natur gesehen. Ich beglückwünsche dich zu diesem außergewöhnlichen Schuss, Keith! Das Bild ist sehr schön gestaltet mit dem Felshorn im Hintergrund. Auch die Farben der Flechten und Moose bilden einen guten Kontrast zu dem schwarz-weißen Vogel.

They are seen on Skokholm in their thousands Wilhelm, but by the time we arrived most of them had left to spend the winter in the Atlantic Ocean, so I was luck to get this shot.

Great catch! Sitting like that their head and beak look very large compared to the body:-)

Such a lovely shot of this cute little bird!!

Thanks very much everyone...............much appreciated :-)

Oh I missed this one yesterday! I love the shapes and colours in the rock and what a lovely bird. In the link you gave me they call it a Dream Island and that is exactly what you show with these pictures Keith.

Thanks Rosa............glad you got to see it..!!

Dream Island describes Skokholm perfectly. It's also sometimes called the Red Island because of the red sandstone cliffs.

They are amazing little birds and this is a terrific capture Keith

Thanks Roger...............much appreciated.

Wonderful!
