    My hubby is a birder and the Black Guillemot is on his list to see when we got upto Scotland in October. I'm glad you found your mystery bird, hubbies nemesis is the wryneck, everytime he goes for, it's never where people report it to be, the joys of birding😊

      Oh beautiful! I hope they're still there in October, I could be wrong, but I think they're only there during the breeding season. Ah I've never seen a wryneck either, would absolutely love to though. Thanks for the comment

    Really liked the pictures with two birds interacting with each other- both on land and water. You get a sense of their characters.

      Thanks Stuart - they do seem to be constantly squabbling, so they're excellent subjects for that

    Wow super photos. Im lucky to see them every day, and yes they dont seem to mind humans. I love how they stay in pairs a lot of the time. You picked a very quiet time to be in Oban, its manic with visitors just now. My friend had a sea eagle swoop down over her garden a couple of weeks ago !!! Made her jump. Im sure you came across them on Mull. Thanks for sharing these delightful photos. I hope you enjoyed Mull .......Alioban ❤

    Can't express how much I'm excited about this video. Not only have I stood in the exact place some years ago, noticing the guillemots breeding in the wall (while not taking half as beautiful images as you), I'm also going to spend three weeks on Mull from mid of July on, so your series couldn't come at a better moment!

      I caved and got myself the DJI Pocket 3 - it's absolutely fantastic. I think the only drawback is it's not weatherproof at all - so not ideal for a lot of vlogging in the UK 😂

    If the red feet are not in the picture, the black and white photos are nicer.
