These are the final shots I took of the Fulmar on Copeland
Island in June. If you have been
following these posts over the past week you will know that all the gulls have
had chicks as well as the Oystercatcher, the Eider and Ringed Plover. However the Artic Terns and Fulmar were still
sitting on their eggs.
The Fulmar usually nest on the side of a cliff like
this one. I don’t know whether you can
see them there so the rest of the photographs are heavily cropped.
My daughter and 2 grandchildren are arriving today from
Malawi and although I have some posts in draft and hope to post them, I
probably will not have as much time to comment on all your posts.
I am linking this post with Eileen’s meme – SATURDAY CRITTERS.
Thank you for visiting.
Many thanks for leaving comments on any of my posts.

Wonderful birds - the phrase "I can't bend my wings" comes to mind when I see them - which is not very often these days!

I fell in love with Fulmars when I visted Scotland. I think they have a very lovely head. :)
ReplyDeleteStunning captures of the Fulmar Margaret, and I do like the cliff side picture.
