I visited RSPB Fowlsheugh yesterday hoping to get some better Puffin images seeing as my "Puffin with Sand Eels" image dropped like a lead balloon 
The last time I visited here we were practically tripping over Puffins there were so many, but yesterday I only spotted 4 but too far to photograph.
Instead, I got some shots of my other favourites - Guilliemots
A sign mentioned that there has been a 50% drop in bird numbers at Fowlsheugh in the last 10 years. Kittiewake chicks have been found starved to death in their nests due to a lack of Sand Eels caused by the rise in sea teperatures.
Perhaps theres something to be said about climate change after all.
More images can be seen on my Flickr photostream.
