Bullers Mollymawk ( Diomedea bulleri ) This lovely bird followed our boat out to Ulva Island.
As with most species these are decreasing rapidly due mostly to commercial fishing methods drowning them in the thousands particularly Asia fishing companies who in the most are not interested in working toward reducing bird deaths...
If I sound negative, its because it needs to be said.
Many are happy to just post pretty bird images but the world has a massive problem and WE all need to be part of the solution...

Fernbird ( Bowdleria punctata ) A bird who's home is rapidly being diminished by human greed for arable land...Of course we have the perfect excuse that the population is growing but obviously not our intelligence or empathy with our surroundings.....

I must have literally hundreds of Rail images.
They completely captured my imagination for so long.
Interesting bird that has suffered greatly by mans indifference...
