Puffins and Fulmars at Auchmithie. Pairs of Grey Wagtail, Dipper, Rock Pipit and two male Pied Wagtails arguing about territory on the Brothock Burn. Also an unusual Redshank visitor at M&M Spink fish merchants.
The Puffins came inshore at high tide and almost immediately a Great black-backed Gull tried to take one, but failed as the Puffins dived! The group of eight split and didn't come any nearer. Photo from clifftop.
