Northern Fulmar in the Western Isles

Abundant breeder.
The St Kilda colony is the largest Northern Fulmar colony in Britain (or Ireland).
There are over 5000 pairs on both Sula Sgeir and Mingulay.

On the chart below the darker the shade of blue the more abundant the bird is during a month or the more likely you are to see it.
