Almost gull-like, this grey and white seabird is related to the Albatrosses hence the tube above the bill clearly showing here . It flies low over the sea on stiff wings, with shallow wingbeats, gliding and banking to show its white underparts then grey upperparts. At its breeding sites it will fly high up the cliff face, riding the updraughts. They will feed in flocks out at sea. They defend their nests from intruders by spitting out a foul-smelling oil. This was taken on the Farne Islands
