St Andrews, Fulmars, The East Scores

St Andrews, Fulmars, The East Scores
The fulmars are tubenosed seabirds of the family Procellariidae.... Fulmars superficially resemble gulls, but are readily distinguished by their flight on stiff wings, and their tube noses. They breed on cliffs, laying one or rarely two eggs on a ledge of bare rock or on a grassy cliff. Quoted from Wikipedia

Good information on these birds, which are new to me Joe. A lovely shot! Well seen and taken with minimum disturbance I am sure. Cheers, Rosa.

The fulmars are very common on the cliffs of St Andrews, Rosa. Don't get too close as they have a very unpleasant defence mechanism! Cheers, Joe
