"Meet the fulmar, a type of tube-nosed seabird that lives in northern regions of the globe. If sufficiently threatened, a fulmar chick will projectile vomit a string of bright, orange stomach oil to prevent further hostility."

Photos feature the western cliffs (incl. sea stacks). Fulmars common but not as frequent as on 10 April. Several nests with a chick. (Michael O'Connell; 28/07/2025)

View to S (W. Mayo coast; Renyvle in NW Connemara; Inishbofin to RHS) over the Atlantic-facing cliffs. The cliffs have a vertical profile of 120-170 m for almost 1 km.
End July 2025 retraced my steps to #Inishturk, Co #Mayo on @wildatlanticway.bsky.social. Weather not as good as in April, but managed to get reasonable photos, according to my own lights! #Fulmars still plentiful on western cliffs; single chicks in some of nests. Inishturk awe inspiring as ever
Buachaill Mór (largely hidden) and Buachaill Beag sea stacks on west coast of Inishturk. Fulmar flying. (10 April 2025, Michael O'Connell)

The highlight must be the sea stacks and cliffs on the western coast facing the #Atlantic. #Fulmars in their 1000s. Awesome @wildatlanticway.bsky.social #Inishturk
Bamburgh Castle Golf Club
Fulmar soaring the sky
At the start of week 2 (Day 8) of #30DaysWild it’s about noticing what’s around you whatever you’re doing. For us a mixed open at #BamburghCastleGC where I love the gurgling noise of the #fulmars as you walk up the 3rd and seeing them soar over the sea.

Glaucus gull 2nd winter
Fulmar
Common Redpoll
Shorelark
The sun took a while to reach Norfolk today & North wind was fierce on Hunstanton beach but managed to locate the 5 #Shorelark which were distant & mobile, the #GlaucusGull on remains of dead seal & bonus #Fulmars on the cliffs. Also found some #Redpoll at #Sculthorpe this afternoon #NorfolkBirding
I've started doing a lot more outreach with school students lately about my work on #fulmars, and while I've worked on some charismatic species in my career, I can't overstate the immediate engagement power of telling a room full of kids that your bird projectile vomits stomach oil at predators 😂
Ok #superseabirdsunday, I'll play! Here are some northern #fulmars doing what they do best at the flow edge of Admiralty Inlet in #Nunavut #Arctic #Canada
