No eels please
Black guillemot are known round here as tystie, which is a northern name, and you have to come up north to see 鈥榚m. All the other seabirds depend on sand eels and as the sand eels fluctuate so do the numbers of seabirds. But the black guillemots very sensibly don鈥檛 go for sand eels they go for butterfish. There鈥檚 one just flying in beautifully, with a great, big butterfish. They look as though they鈥檝e already been filleted don鈥檛 they, butterfish? It鈥檚 beautiful.
