I know I said I'd guess no more ids from my phone, but it's def not a black gulliemot, I think it's a razorbill.

nope not a Black Guillemot but I was thinking Guillemot and maybe due to position of its head the smaller bird a Little Auk?
The beak of the larger bird seems long and pointed rather than the chisel shape of the Razorbill. Also, I don't spot the vivid white beak marking, the stripe across the back or the long tail. It could be my eyes however.

Hi,this looks like an adult an juvenile Guillemot to me,when the juv's leave the cliffs they are still not fully grown and like this one are much smaller than the adults.
