The path to the lighthouse offers a great view over de colony, and other birds include Black Oystercatcher and Brandt' s Cormorant.
While scanning the sea for the occasional (and most wanted!) Tufted Puffin we saw a Sooty Shearwater and a flock of White-winged Scoters. Suddenly an adult Bald Eagle flew in and perched on the rocks.
It sat there for a while and after having decided which Murre would be the easiest meal it took off, flew low over the colony and snatched a Murre. From it's nest! you can see the greenish egg on te picture.
When we left some more (immature) Bald Eagles arrived, probably aiming to pull the same trick. Impressive birds!!
