 | Last week we travelled west to Argyll and Islay. Wild Goose central did not disappoint since we found all the geese and goose species having arrived for the colder months. I may post a picture from our visit next. This picture was taken in a harbour on the way. Unlike other Guillemots, Black Guillemots change plumage from a silky black in the warmer months to this near white in winter. The feet and the gape remain quite red so there's no confusion with other birds. You can see it is feeding although I cannot tell what kind of food it has. Crustacean, likely, but a piece of crab or something else. Possibly it is a discard from a fishing boat. |
