Fulmars and Albatrosses belong to the same order of Procellariiformes (Tubenoses). This Folmar was headed toward its nest half way up the vertical cliff face of Berry Head, height 85m. My perch at the top of the cliff was precarious!
Thanks for viewing

Neat to get a top view, David. Shooting down from a cliff like that always gives me vertigo. Nice detail in the Fulmar.

Well done

It is amazing how long their wings are David. This is a really unique top down view and you got really nice detail in the fulmar against a really nice aquamarine sea BG.
