Uria aalge
These birds live on the sea as in the first picture where they are mixing with Razorbills, which appear darker and have larger bills. They only come to land to breed on cliff ledges which they share with other birds. The one in pictures 2-5 flopped down on the rock amongst the Gannets appearing wet and exhausted but was probably just drying off in the sun!
