Gorse fire on Arthur's Seat from the island

One of the #InchcolmIsland Fulmars. Amazingly elegant fliers, playing with the wind along the wavecrests. They can't land for toffee, though 😂 This one had missed its nest and tumbled to the foot of the cliff, where it sat looking disgruntled until taking off for another try.

Rare sighting of lenticular clouds over Leith.

#superSeabirdSunday A couple of sandwich terns, I love the inky scribbles on the juvenile, and the male-pattern baldness on the late-season adult :)
Two Sandwich terns sitting in shallow water. On the left is a fledgling bird, mostly white but with dark marks on the wings and back resembling scribbles with a pen. On the right a parent bird, white and grey with a black crest and a black beak with a yellow tip

A fairly standard Isle of May puffin-shot, but one of my favourites.
Full length portrait of a puffin. Vieewed from the front with a beak very full of little sandeels and its head cocked slightly to the side. The bright orange of its feet is reflected on its white belly.

Similar vibe in the middle of Edinburgh. Grey Heron. We have had Little Egrets appearing in Scotland in the last few years, as well
