Bored by the lockdown and the weather, and with new editing software and a better understanding of how to use it, I've tried to sort damage done in the past to photos in my "Sea birds and Terns" folder. I think much of it was due to the settings of my graphics card and monitor. Photos are from various cameras progressing through the years.
Sea birds and Terns, mostly only seen during the Scottish summer when they travel here to breed. They are posted in alphabetical order with limited explanation unless there is something of interest.

Common Tern courtship
This photo was taken into mist and shows a pair of Common Terns with the previous years youngster, apparently it's rare for that age group to migrate north during its second calendar year
Gannet, Scurdie Ness
I never knew of the white lines running down the legs before seeing this better photo
Juvenile Gannet learning how to fish at Scurdie Ness. Another young one was trying to dive from sitting on the sea but was too buoyant
Guillemot
Bridled Guillemot, around 10% have the bridle which increases in the more northerly birds
This Guillemot was in Arbroath Harbour mouth on May 9th and shouldn't be in this plumage an old sage told me
It looks like it's toying with the small flounder
