A razorbill and a guillemot, taken just off the Shiant Islands last week. I know it's not perfect - I could have done with a bit more space to the left for the birds to move into - but taken from a boat in a bit of a swell at iso1000 with a camera that really doesn't 'do' high iso. I 'm quite pleased with it.

The trip was with Ian from Gairloch Marine and if you're ever in the area it's well worth doing. We were surrounded by flocks of puffins, razorbills, guillemots and kittiwakes, all nesting on the cliffs and grass above. We saw 3 white tailed eagles. There are often dolphins, porpoises and whale. I've seen them all but not on this trip.
