Large View Please,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

This young chick looks very alone in its position near the top of the 64 m sea cliffs at Duncansby Head which is the far North east corner of the British mainland, as it patiently waits for parents to return with food
although not sure of the species, a herring gull is the most likely I would guess but any help would be more than welcome

Wonderful shot Roger! Looking at the other ledges on the cliff the parent birds seem to have picked the best available one. Hope the little one makes it to his/her first flight!

All the best, Doug
