Canon 800mm f6.3 for 1/200th @ iso800

A small colony of Black Guillemot reside on a structure just to the right of the Corran ferry slipway (as you drive off) at Ardgour.

The birds take advantage of the man made structure and pairs of birds reside in each of the steel compartments, they can either be seen roosting on the structure and squabbling with neighbours or floating out on the loch in the Corran straights.
