#BlackGuillemots are widely distributed #seabirds, nesting under rocks along coastlines, which makes surveying an entire population challenging.

This project is a great example of #CommunityBasedMonitoring that will support the assessment of #guillemot populations in the UK!

Although possibly slightly oiled, this #Guillemot seemed to be enjoying the late afternoon sunshine ☀️ at S Devon's, Hope's Nose today. It had a silver ring on its right leg - serial number RB 955. #DevonBirds #UKBirding @birdtrack.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #birds

A monotone bird tilts its head slightly as it looks into the fading sun. Water drops are visible along its black back.

My photo ‘Headlock’ of two squabbling Bridled Guillemots won the bird category this week in the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards in London. #nikoneurope #guillemot #seabird #nature #wildlifecomedyawards

This Common Guillemot has a dark chocolate-brown head and back, a white underside, and a sleek, dumpy body. It has a long, slender bill, and this individual is "bridled," showing a white line around the eye extending to the neck. It is standing upright, in Penguin-like fashion, on a concrete slip from where boats are launched.

A black-and-white close-up of a tiny periwinkle flower on roch next to dried, coniferous needles. The flower has a periwinkle tint. Next to it in white letters, prose: Pain This wasn't what she wanted. But, oh, how it wanted her! Pulling, yearning for attention inside her body, as if that body wasn't hers, any more. Callused fingers held the pen that wrote down thoughts, spiralling into a house, like a snail shell, where she could rest, until a chance for healing sprouts. Each time it showed, like an adolescent guillemot from Heligoland's steep, red rocks, she'd take that leap of faith. © Stefanie Neumann - @KokopelliBFree © Stefanie Neumann - #KBFPhotography

I'd never heard of the #guillemot before,
there isn't even a Wikipedia page
on him in my native language.
I look him up anyway &
suddenly miss him in my life
& hope to one day meet the little black fellow
& make a new feathery friend

#BlueSkyRelay

Great bird of the sea
Regales tales of the oceans.
Audience approves.

Basks in sea breezes

All I ever wanted
Was to watch the
Guillemot chicks
Born on rocky cliffs
Jump off their perch
And parachute down
Falling to the ground
Flapping little wings
So dramatically
To land on a soft belly
And bounce

#blueskyrelay #guillemot

they scaled the cliffs of St. Kilda
in 1923
to gather the eggs of the guillemot
to sustain them through winter’s freeze

#BlueSkyRelay #prompt #guillemot

Loud cries from the cliff,
A million tuxedo birds,
Yet not one wears a tie?

The guillemot rises
Terrorizes
The land and the sea
The children flee
At the very sight
The might of this
Creature it’s
Features unspeakable
As it lashes out with
It’s….tentacles?
I might be thinking
Of something else

When faced with a prompt like #Guillemot my only answer is to go to nonsense.

My Grandma was a Guillemot
