I captured these pair of Razorbills on my recent trip to the Isle of May. These birds only come to shore to breed, and winter in the northern Atlantic. The future of this species is linked to the health of the marine environment. Fishing nets, pollution and declining fish stocks all threaten the Razorbill.

Thanks for having a look

A nicely timed moment, and it looks to me that you managed to keep detail in both whites and the dark areas - not particularly easy

The thumbnail doesn't do this justice.
I just love the interaction you captured and the nice lines created within the image.
Good details in the whites and blacks. I could see aversion with a bit more on the RHS but like it as is as well,

Good work William. Excellent exposure and processing. Cheers, Ian.
