As ever we are all about the unsung heros of our coast. This great photo was taken by our guest Paul Cummins
Did you know that a s**gs plumage is only partially waterproof? Their feathers take on water gradually, reducing their buoyancy to allow them to dive deeper and benefit from the increasingly lowering cold water feeding grounds.
This is also why you see them spreading their wings to dry out on coastal rocks between dives to the cold water columns. Fortunately for this s**g, there was plenty of sun to do so! **gs Staffa Tours
