Saturday night among the auks - #razorbill and young - a privileged sight, as the handsome auk favours privacy in cliff ledges...
Unlike its "cousin", razorbills demand peace as a pair.

There is a new shift in the air. The world has changed indeed...

Turn a trip for errands into a magical adventure! #birds #naturediaries #shetland in May... Any bird can land, including a scarce visitor! #mandarinduck as exotic as last month's #purpleheron ...
