A glorious pair of Razorbills on the Isle of May

Puffin chicks have hatched on the Isle of May!! The blog has the story… isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com

Up there with one of the strangest encounters we've ever had on the Isle of May, this morning we had a juvenile Dipper! The blog explains: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com Photo John Dryden

Tonight’s setting sun over the Isle of May. It’s been a stunning day

#superseabirdsunday. My contribution is a link to the @alderneywt.bsky.social Burhou puffin cam which may or may not be showing puffins so a backup plan next 😄. www.alderneywildlife.org/wildlife/web...

#superseabirdsunday back up post @alderneywt.bsky.social gannet cam. Always something going on this time of year, and the colony is so close to the mainland no binoculars needed the smell and sounds are wonderful! alderneywildlife.org/wildlife/webcams/gannet-cam

This #SuperSeabirdSunday , both Ebro and I would like to contribute some puffins to brighten your feed

I can't get enough of watching these beauties gliding along the cliffs in the vale of Glamorgan lately. The Fulmar 24/5/2026 #SuperSeaBirdSunday #Birdingwales #Birds🪶 #Naturephotography #NatureTherapy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Needed #SuperSeabirdSunday today so here is a crew from Farne last year and an American Robin yesterday. Thr robin is not a seabird but appreciates them.

5 species of storm petrel in one shot and there's potential for even more in this particular neck of the woods - the eastern Pacific off the coast of Peru #SuperSeabirdSunday #Birds Elliot's Storm Petrel Wedge-rumped Storm Petrel Ringed Storm Petrel Markham's Storm Petrel Least Storm Petrel

Black Guillemots are regular in Aberdeen's south harbour in spring these days. This one yesterday was a bit closer to the shore than usual. #Birds #BirdingScotland #UKBirding #SuperSeabirdSunday

Feeding time for these wee Shag chicks on the Isle of May today 🐣 #seabirds #superseabirdsunday #fieldwork #ornithology

#SuperSeabirdSunday A combination of my and Mr Wonderful's favourite puffin shots, hope to add to them this week, see you soon Steely! 😁

In May, Sable Shearwaters should look like the bird on the right (fully grown, ready to fledge 💙). Sadly, many look like the bird on the left: adorable fluffball, but very thin and full of plastic #SuperSeabirdSunday

Today is a medley between the #BirdOfTheDay theme #StaringRightAtYou and #SuperSeabirdSunday. A Razorbill and an Atlantic Puffin from last year's trip to Lundy 🇬🇧. So excited to go back in July! #EastCoastKin #photography #birds #seabirds #ukbirding

Struggling to decide which seabird to share for #SuperSeabirdSunday? Why not consolidate all your seabirds into one handy 1930s-style rail poster? xx

Black-faced Cormorants near Goolwa at the mouth of the Murray River this morning. The pipe they are roosting on conveys dredged sand from the river across the dunes to the open ocean in an ongoing process to keep the river mouth open. #SuperSeabirdSunday #seabirds #WildOz

Welcome to Super Seabird Sunday were we ask you to share Photos, videos & artwork of seabirds. Here is my contribution, a charismatic Fulmar on the Isle of May #SuperSeabirdSunday

That's no seabird! A spoonbill flew over the Isle of may yesterday as the blog explains: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com

Morning. This will make your day :) Eider ducks and ducklings on the march to the open sea - this is from my front door :)

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #HeadShots, headshots of any bird. Set by Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social. Here are an Atlantic Puffin, a Common Shag, a Great Black-backed Gull and a Northern Gannet. More info in ALT Text. #Birds 🪶🦉 #Nature #Nikon @seabirdcentre.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social

A pair of Razorbills high on a cliff today out on the Isle of May National Nature Reserve. They looked genuinely delighted by the arrival of their egg. #Birds 🪶🦉 #Nature #Photography #Nikon @seabirdcentre.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social

A real intimate moment as an adult Shag checks out its newly hatched young on the Isle of May. New life.

Is it possible Arctic Terns might return to breed on the Isle of May this year? There was some very encouraging signs this morning as the blog explains: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com (photo Aron Tanti)

Well that was a decent day out in North Uist on our Corncrake and Phalarope tour! Great view of Pomarine Skua, Corncrake and Peregrine (amongst many others); as well as this extraordinary looking Common Gull. #BirdingScotland #BirdingOuterHebs #rarebirdalert

Thousands of seabirds are now nesting on the Isle of May including these Guillemots. They don’t build nest structures, but incubate their single egg on their feet!

A Rock Pipit from the Low Newton colour ringing project has been seen in Norway ! It's the first sighting of a Rock Pipit from this project outside of the UK. Green HV was ringed at Newton on 31 March 2025. It was photographed near Stavangar on 6 April 2026. #NEbirding #BirdRinging #BirdBanding

Hasn't caught the best trick of all, build on top of anti-bird spikes for a /really/ strong nest 🤣

Kittiwakes are frantically nest building on the Isle of May like this individual which is taping down the vegetation to make it stronger

Very much enjoyed watching and photographing the Common and Sandwich Terns yesterday! #seabirdsunday #bird #birdphotography #nature #wildlife @steelyseabirder.bsky.social

It’s good to be back on the Isle of May…

Unbelievably stoked when these two beauties passed right overhead! @caithnessbirds.bsky.social A couple of futile trips to the coast here this week turned up little, so to have two inland long-tailed skua migrate N over me at Broubster was literally a fantasy come true! 👌 #birdingscotland

South Island Pied Oystercatcher/Torea, Haematopus finschi. Duvauchelle Bay, Banks Peninsula NZ, April 2025. #SuperSeabirdSunday

Variable Oystercatcher/Torea pango, Haematopus unicolor. Kaikoura NZ, April 2025. "Variable" as some birds have bits of white on their bellies yet the species is "unicolor". 🤷‍♂️ #SuperSeabirdSunday

Phillip Island, off Norfolk, has five petrel species with the summer-hatched gadfly petrels nearing fledging. 20,000 paired Black-winged petrel and threatened Kermadec and White-necked petrels with less than 100 known nests each on island. #SuperSeabirdSunday

Welcome to Super Seabird Sunday! This is where we ask you to share videos, photos and artwork of seabirds to brighten timelines! Here is my contribution; Razorbill and Puffins! #SuperSeabirdSunday

#PUFFIN! Isle of May ones from my 2021 trip, not long now hopefully til I'm back observing these beautiful birds, and their fellow island dwellers. Hope you'll be back from your adventures in time David 🤣 #SuperSeabirdSunday

For #SuperSeabirdSunday None more super, a great aak. #Papay

A juvenile white-capped albatross (Thalassarche cauta) in 'lumpy'seas from a pelagic South of #CapeTown #SouthAfrica on the 8th November 2014 #Wildlfe #Photography Please check out the submissions at #SuperSeabirdSunday and give this a repost if you like. Thanks. @steelyseabirder.bsky.social

A black-legged #kittiwake (again) for #SuperSeabirdSunday - the colony is shifting around the castle cliffs and it feels as though there are far fewer than in previous years. Will be interested in the official count data. #seabirds #birds #eastlothian
