Fulmar Fun at Rottingdean

I had to go down to Rottingdean at lunchtime today and grabbed a quick half hour along the cliff walk. The weather wasn’t great, but the fulmars more than made up for that with an excellent and very typical show. Here are a few shots.

Occasionally they fly circuits in pairs. These two were close enough to share the frame.

When not flying, they nestle up close against the cliff face.

Domestic bliss. It’s unusual for them to be this calm.
