I lay in the snow and wet mud for about 30 minutes

I lay in the snow and wet mud for about 30 minutes watching a couple of puffins preening.

As this one finished preening and got to its feet, I knew the chances of it spreading its wings was high so I quickly changed focus and rattled off a few shots.

Cold, wet, muddy and an exposure nightmare with harsh sun, black and white subject and snowy background but it's worked out okay I think! Great fun nonetheless!!

@fujifilmuk X-H1 and 100-400mm.

Bridled common guillemot.... Five shots taken in

Bridled common guillemot....

Five shots taken in just under half a second then merged as a composite. I took these on the wee island of Hornøya in the Barents Sea on Saturday with the @fujifilmuk X-H1 and 100-400mm.

It's a common guillemot but the white eye rings and line extending back to the nape is the result of a genetic mutation within the species which gives them the 'bridled' term.

The genetic mutation is more prevalent in the north. On the Farne Islands in Northumberland, about 3% of guillemots have this mutation. On Hornøya up in the Arctic Circle, about 35% of common guillemots are bridled. They make for a slightly more interesting shot than 'normal' common guillemots.

Bridled common guillemot. I've just returned to t

Bridled common guillemot.

I've just returned to the UK after a week working on the northern coast of Norway with the @seabirdsinthecity production team.

We spent a day filming and photographing on the small uninhabited island of Hornøya which was incredible for guillemots, puffins, razorbills and kittiwakes.

I've always enjoyed photographing and spotting bridled guillemots with @farne_islands. The bridled bit is a genetic mutation which gives the white eye markings. It's the same species, it just looks like it is wearing a pair of spectacles.

It's more prevalent the further north the colonies are based. On the Farnes it's about 3-5% maybe but on Hornøya, I'd say around 30-35%.
