Gull ID
Sorry if this is easy but its got me....



Spotted these behind me whilst shooting some surf yesterday. Most were in pairs on the side of a small cliff face making a racket.

Cheers

Re: Gull ID
Not a gull but a Fulmar. These are different from gulls because of the tube on top of their beak and they have stiffer straighter wings when they fly. I saw them for the first time last year and I think they're great, they so good in flight. Really good photo by the way!

Re: Gull ID
Agree with Guy. It is a Fulmar, not a Gull but a large Petrel.

Nice photo BTW.
