two guillemots seem to be arguing with a razorbill about nesting - on spectacular cliffs at RSPB Fowlsheugh, near Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

The lowering sun just caught one of the guillemot's eyes - no touching up required.

The spectacular cliffs at Fowlsheugh are packed with more than 130,000 breeding seabirds during the spring and summer months. These include guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes, along with some puffins and fulmars too. If you're lucky, you might also spot grey seals and dolphins in the water here. Read more at www.rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/fowlsheu... Address: RSPB Fowlsheugh, Crawton, Stonehaven AB39 2TP. Grid ref: NO879808. A colourful coastal cliff top walk over grassland to view thousands of seabirds with a stunning backdrop of 30-metre sea cliffs should not be missed. Although the seabird experience is limited to May to early August, Fowlsheugh provides a great walk for all months of the year. A small shelter at the end of the trail overlooks the breeding ledges. The cliffs, mostly basalt and conglomerates of Old Red Sandstone, form a rock face with innumerable holes and ledges, providing ideal sites for cliff nesting seabirds.
