Fulmars
are one of my favourite birds for all manner of reasons. Their ability
to survive, and even enjoy, the foulest of conditions the north sea and
waters up to the arctic circle can throw at them, is amazing. This
species often seems playful - flying along the insides of "tunnels" in
the waves, bugging dogs on the beach or indulging in "hanging"
competitions with other fulmars along cliff edges.
