Some sea birds from Ferryden and Scurdie Ness on 28/8/2020, along with the House Martins nest on my neighbours gale. Photos from my DSLR using the two times converter which doesn't make capturing distant moving targets easy.
Eider with a crab, I watched as it held each leg shaking it till the leg broke off, and gathered the crab again each time until just the body was left which it swallowed. At Ferryden
Gannet offshore at Scurdie Ness
Despite the strong wind I could hear this juvenile Guillemot calling to be fed. The adult didn't seem to have any problem fishing, returning after each dive with a fish
Same juvenile Guillemot
House Martin chicks being fed in the late evening sunlight
Same nest when the light had gone, note the adult appears to be holding or controlling the youngsters beak with its foot which I've noticed is common practice
