Puffins might get all the glory for stuffing a dozen tiny fish in their beaks at once, but their sleek cousin, the Black Guillemot, prefers a "quality over quantity" approach. Why carry fifteen tiny snacks when you can just bring home one massive, slippery ocean noodle? 🍝🐟

Some nice seawatching in September @hilbrebirdobs.bsky.social highlights were of course good numbers of Leach’s Petrels, a few Manx Shearwaters, skua numbers were poor but a single Bonxie flew right over us at the North End, a Grey Phalarope whizzed by and a BlackGuillemot paid us a visit #UKBirding

Friday was International Guillemot Appreciation Day! Can’t believe I missed it again, but really, shouldn’t everyday be guillemot appreciation day? Here’s some BLGU art I created for National Audubon’s Seabird Institute.

What does a Black Guillemot do after hauling in a giant ocean noodle? Go for a quiet, scenic swim, obviously. Just peacefully paddling along the surface, taking in the coastal views, and minding its own business. Gotta love a relaxing commute! 🌊🖤

Isle of Staffa 23.06.26 - while eating lunch on Staffa, this Black Guillemot appeared from the base of the cliffs before flying off, not the first of the holiday, but the first which I could photograph.

"On Reflection"

winter-plumaged Black Guillemot (Cepphus grylle), mirrored in the water of Scapa Bay, #Orkney (on a calmer day than today!)

This Black Guillemot is in its winter plumage with a striking black-and-white pattern, appearing mostly white below with black barring on its back and black wings. It head is reflecting on the calm water next Scapa Pier, and its bright red right leg is visible beneath the surface.

Digital drawing of a black guillemot I saw today. They look so cheerful and cute with their bright red feet.

A digital painting done tonight of a black guillemot that I saw today. The bird is black with dark eyes and beak, white wings and bright yellow feet and inside the mouth. The background is a mixture of greens and white with a suggestion of pink flowers on a large stone to the right and front of the bird.

„Do I know you?“
Indeed, we met before. I photographed the very same ringed Black Guillemot 4 years ago. It’s now 8 years old, and the weather was nicer 4 years ago, btw.

Our favorite goth ocean-noodle enthusiast showing off its absolute cutest feature: those bright red foots! The Black Guillemot keeps them hidden while swimming, but when they take off over the waves, that vibrant red stands out sharply against their dark summer feathers.

"Eggspended"

a spent Black Guillemot egg at the opening of a nest cavity at Orphir, #Orkney (hopefully after successful hatching and not predated 🤞)

This Black Guillemot egg is a dull white and boldly marked with dark spots and blotches. It has a hole in its side revealing blood-red remains of the developed embryo. It sits at the aperture of a nesting crevice in a sandstone cliff. Hopefully it was pushed out after hatching, and the chick is safely ensconsed in the nest.

The Black Guillemot is one of our smaller auks, only slightly larger than a Puffin and has a thin whistling call. ⬇️

Black Guillemots are certainly some of the cutest birds I know. It’s just fantastic to have them so close to home.
